Credits: 210,084 | 5Dimes Line on SDSU @ Iowa State | |
I was looking through a few websites this afternoon for some early lines on Week One CFB. Saw that we are only favored by eight points over SDSU. I didn't think that we would be 21 point favorites but to find out that we are favored by just over a touchdown doesn't speak too well of what the "experts" think about our squad. I hope they are wrong.

Way to early to worry about that IMO

I didn't think most odds makers even came up with a line on FBS vs. FCS or has that changed since Appalachian St. upended Michigan?

Sounds about right to me. I still say that this game will be closer than we would like.

That line will obviously move prior to the game but I don't see us getting much more than 9-11 points.

That's a little lower than I was thinking, but I would have been shocked if it would have been higher than 121/2. Our quarterback situation is a big question mark for everyone outside of the Cyclone family.

Considering how we played against Illinois St. and UNI... 8 is generous.

Ahhh, losing to UNI by double figures...good times. Especially after what should have been a loss to them the previous season.
Non-conference '06 and '07 - games I wish could be erased from memory.

(At least by giving you newer, better memories. I don't think they could erase those games from your C drive without doing some permanent damage.)

Oh I dont doubt that they will make me smile several times this year and last year will dissipate. However 1st few games will be shakey while they find a groove.

I guess my issue is that so many people on this board have been discussing the possibility of 5-7 or 6-6. In looking at the conference season I find it very difficult to find more than three wins. The nature of our schedule is that most of the winnable games are on the road; which is always difficult in the Big 12. We cannot afford to lose to SDSU or Kent State or UNLV if we want to achieve that 5-7 or 6-6 record. My major issue is that a team that has aspirations of a bowl game should not have issues with a mid-level I-AA or FSC teams. UNI was a terrific team last year; SDSU is nowhere near them in talent.

The worst Big XII team we play comes to Ames on October the 18th.

3-1 non-conference + 3-1 to start in Big XII = 6 - 2.
Surely there must be a law somewhere that this cannot happen.
