Just last week, this question was asked and it was 3.2% according to the same site that now lists ISU at 4.5% chance. That's a 41% increase (from 3.2 to 4.5). It's improvement.

I don't know if surprised is the right word, but surprised no one has mentioned the one game left where ISU is now favored.

Honestly, its a higher number than I expected. I think 5 games is really our ceiling at this point.

Good chance (>40%)
Texas
Tech
KSU

Don't see any chance for the following (<2%)
TCU
Baylor
OU

Maybe (>10%)
WVU
OSU

the Toledo game pretty much ended bowl hopes for ISU, unless they improve a lot as the season goes on. Not likely, but I am not giving up hope yet.

Yep. That Toledo game will haunt all season. They blew the entire season in that game and it's sad really as they work their butts off. Hate to say that one game was a season defining game but if u don't beat Iowa u better beat the other two non conf teams and we didn't. We destroyed Toledo too.

Man, we are playing .500 ball so far. Just need to continue to bowl.

I am still confident that ISU has a chance against TTU, Texas, KSU, OSU, WVU and believe it or not, TCU.

I'm with you...no chance against Baylor or OU but every other game, there is a chance. Not a big one except maybe Texas, but a chance.

We not only need to improve, but other teams would either need to stagnate or get worse for even 2 more wins to happen. Getting to a bowl game would require something insane to happen like sanctions, penalties, etc from CFB on a whole bunch of teams.

Excluding texas, I like how the rest of our "easiest" games to win range from 22% to 8% chance of winning
