***Official Iowa State Season Prediction Thread***

It's two days and counting until the season starts and I can't believe there hasn't been a season prediction thread. If there is and by some miracle I overlooked it I apologize and please close.

vs UNI W 34-10
vs Iowa W 27-24
@ UCONN W 23-13
vs Texas L 24-38
@ Baylor L 24-28
@ Missouri L 31-41
vs Texas A&M L 24-45
@ Texas Tech W 45-42
vs Kansas W 35-13
vs Oklahoma State L 14-27
@ Oklahoma L 48-21
@ Kansas State W 31-17

I think we'll end up 6-6 (3-6) with plenty of close games and chances to eek out another win. Thoughts?

UNI W 41-7
Iowa W 23-21
@UConn W 28-24
Texas L 21-35
@Baylor L 31-38
@Mizzou W 31-21
Texas A&M L 28-48
@Texas Tech W 35-28
Kansas W 45-10
Oklahoma St. L 24-38
@Oklahoma L 13-41
@Kansas St. W 24-21

My optimistic prediction

Would be exciting to go 7-5 but I just dont know what to expect from em.

UNI W 35-17
Iowa L 24-35
@UConn W 20-17
Texas L 21-35
@Baylor L 31-38
@Mizzou L 24-31
Texas A&M L 28-42
@Texas Tech W 38-31
Kansas W 38-13
Oklahoma St. L 24-48
@Oklahoma L 10-48
@Kansas St. W 24-21

vs. UNI- 38-13 Win
vs. Iowa-24-21 (OT) Win
@ UCONN- 24-33 Loss (I am going to this game and want to see a win, but it just gives me a bad feeling)....
vs. Texas- 31-28 Win
@ Baylor- 21-35 Loss
@ Mizzou- 24-30 Loss
vs. Texas A&M- 13-17 Loss
@ Texas Tech- 31-30 Win
vs. Kansas- 42-14 Win
vs. Oklahoma State- 42-38 (2 OT) Win (Signature win of the season)
@ Oklahoma- 21-35 Loss (Surprise OU a little in the first half, But Landry Jones and Broyles heat up in 2nd half)
@ Kansas St.- 31-28 (OT) Loss (This game could go the other way as well. I just always hate playing in Manhattan)

I have 6-6 and lower tier bowl vs. B1G opponent Sparty maybe?

Season could swing either way depending on the offense (interchanging OSU,Mizzou,TAMU,K-State games). I say no lower than 5-7 but no higher than 7-5 (not including bowl game)

ISU 28-7 UNI
ISU 17-13 Iowa
ISU 24-14 UConn
Texas 21-14 ISU

And these are just my predictions so far, I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.

I think its interesting that most ppl have us beating Iowa but losing to Texas.

Texas has more talent. Whether that talent transfers to on field sucess this year I'm unsure of. I think we could beat the first 5 teams but I wanted to be a little realistic so I marked it as a loss. Im going to that game so I would def prefer that they win or at least keep it close. I had the great fortune of picking the Utah game last year.

I just think our schedule is too tough for a transition year. (3-9) (1-8) The only other game we even have a possibility of being favored in is Kansas State.

vs UNI W 37-13
vs Iowa W 30-20
@ UCONN W 24-10
vs Texas W 31-24
@ Baylor W 34-28
@ Missouri L 35-38

vs Kansas W 31-6
vs Oklahoma State L 17-41
@ Oklahoma L 48-34
@ Kansas State W 27-17

8-4. One injury or one bad loss (and associated loss of confidence) away from 2-10 though...

vs UNI W 24-20
vs Iowa L 28-10
@ UCONN W 23-20
vs Texas L 35-17
@ Baylor L 38-24
@ Mizzou L 31-21
vs A&M L 28-24
@ Tech L 38-28
vs KU W 28-17
vs OSU L 34-24
@ OU L 41-7
@ KSU L 24-20

I got us at 3 wins, might sneak up on someone so I could see 4

I have the Texas game shaping up alot like the NU game from last year, we have the will and drive to win but Texas talent just becomes to much. Not to mention Mack Brown being humiliated at the press conference after the game last year.... I know he wont want to go through that again.

10-2, with losses to the Oklahoma schools
