    Pass Rush: 2023 vs. 2024, and 2025 Opportunities to improve

    I think an improved pass rush is possible in 2025 and could be a key to defensive improvement next year. Since Iowa State sends fewer pass rushers than the rest of the league and every team faces a different number of passing plays, it can be hard to compare raw stats across teams without...

    ISU Bowl Projection

    I honestly think we are getting to wrapped up in what might happen if a 10-3 KSU is compared to 9-3 LSU for the last at large spot… Will the committee likely take the 4th or 5th sec team over the B12 runner up in that scenario? Yes. Very likely. How do you over come that should be the...

    ISU Bowl Projection

    I don’t disagree with most of this. But not many years 9 teams in the p2 will have 2 or fewer losses. If you are in the B12/ACC you have to have 1 or 0 losses going into the title game. If you do, good shot at an at large if you lose. But you have to win non conf games. Colorado beats nebbie...

    CFP Expanding to 12 Teams

    tex = this year only... there has been much made of b12 champ getting blown out by #5 seed... I get it since it will be the sec runner up (either uga, bama, or tex). I am not saying tex historically has been good. they are not much better than mich in recent (20yrs) history and in the last...

    CFP Expanding to 12 Teams

    exactly. this is my point. people comparing the B12 teams to Bama/Uga/OSU/tex like the rest of the b10 would be any more successful than ISU/Utah/KSU. I don't think psu/mich/nd/mizz are anywhere near the level of the top 4. only teams that I think MIGHT be close are oregon and tennessee...

    CFP Expanding to 12 Teams

    leverage, control of power, and money... they bring a lot of eyeballs to the playoff. as dominant as the sec has been on the field, b10 has dominated off the field.

    CFP Expanding to 12 Teams

    I don't disagree with that - my b10 being a fraud comment is based on saying they deserve 4 auto bids, or equal to sec... most years beyond osu they have no one that competes with the sec top tier. I think bama/uga/tx or whoever happens to be on top in the sec (aub, fl, maybe tenn this year...

    CFP Expanding to 12 Teams

    my point is b10 comparing itself competitively to the sec is a joke. Saying they should get 4 auto bids laughable. The only thing the b10 competes on is $. Yes. Mich has recent stint (one champ, one loss to TCU) where they made the playoff. Outside of that, they have not been competitive with...

    CFP Expanding to 12 Teams

    b10 is a fraud conf (even as currently constructed)... last 20 yrs current b10 teams have won 3 titles.... Mich, OSU, USC. OSU is often the only team that can compete with the top tier in the sec in the whole conf. Yet, you have teams like iowa beating their chest because they beat up ill...

    4-0 Start

    Ya… I only know by looking at the historical schedules. Don’t remember anything before the Walden years (wish I didn’t remember those! )….

    4-0 Start

    not sure that is worth keeping in mind.... It's a new era. I think we could have a really fun year.

    ISU Bowl Projection

    The issue for the B12 this year is not miz, nd, mich, etc. it is the fact that we only have ISU/BYU left as undefeated teams 5 weeks into the season. We need to have years where we end up with 2 or 3 teams that are either unbeaten or have only 1 (max 2) losses heading into the conf championship...

    ISU Bowl Projection

    I think most b10/sec teams will get in with 2 losses... only way they don't is if there are 9+ ND/sec/b10 teams with 2 or fewer losses... meaning 1 g6, 1 B12, 1 acc aand 9 nd/sec/b10 teams... The only way you get 4-5 teams from the G6/ACC/B12 group is if you have 8 or fewer 2 loss teams from...

    4-0 Start

    Fun to get off to a 4-0 start.. crazy that it has been 20 years. Last 5-0 start: 1980 Last 6-0 start: 1938 (also our first and only 7-0 start) Not many years start off this well... let's enjoy the season!

    Iowa State vs Iowa Match Thread

    no... that's the show. iowa guy is very annoying. but Tyrese was cool. We need to give him some more stats if he is ever on again. Like the one hassle shared on iowa everywhere: most of iowa's best wins have been ISU in the last few years, number of ranked teams total they play, weakest SOS...
