...earlier today on Tim Brando's national radio show (Sporting News Radio) they were discussing college FB. Predictions were made for teams that callers brought up for discussion. ISU was discussed and Brando (who knows his college FB "stuff") said he thinks ISU will go 6-6 in Chizik's first year.

I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.

Well that would exceed my expectations. With the talent we have left and the schedule we're facing that would be a fantastic first year.  | | | |

It's not all gloom and doom across the preview magazine publications. CFN even has us at 5-7, 3-9 worst case, 8-4 best case. Scout.com: 2007 Big 12 Team-by-Team Schedules |
Deep within the heart of Iowa, a storm is brewing...
... the winds of change ripple throughout the vast fields of corn surrounding the small college town of Ames.
The Gene Chizik era of football continues, and, with it, a renewed attitude of pride, determination, and success.

Wait: Texas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska are all counted as "likely losses" on our calendar, but are counted as "could go either way" games on the other teams' calendars? I don't understand the mixed messages, but at least they're not just writing us off as a pushover team right off the bat.
Actually, now that I think about it, this setup is pretty accurate- yeah, they're all likely losses, but they sure can go either way. I think we could beat any of those three if the wind was blowing our way, so to speak. (It'd have to be practically gale-force wind, but stranger things have happened- CU tornado of '05, anyone?)

I'm sure they have sort of a five-point system for rating these things: Sure loss, likely loss, could go either way, likely win, and a sure win.
