The dreaded #8 seed
- Thread starter 12191987
- Start date
Way, way too early to be looking at playoff projections. But with that said, it’s just gratifying to be considered a playoff contender, even if it’s week 2. The program has come a long way
I think palm just got sloppy on updating the site locations from the prior week. The higher seed should have the first game on the host school campus, minus the teams that get a bye.
My guess is it was a bit of Civil War trolling to put the Ducks in Beaver Stadium.
If ISU ended up in the playoffs there's nothing to dread.
That would be amazing.

Nah. This happy to be here attitude has been obsolete since 2012. A deep run is the standard.
For the first year of the expanded playoffs from a program that rarely wins a bowl game?
Yes. Our basketball credits transfer.
Edit: Just to confirm, though it may be dumb it is 100% obvious that a Cyclone fan posting on a Cyclone message board about a “dreaded #8 seed” in the football playoff is tongue-in-cheek, right?

I think Palm forgot to change the locations from last week's projection. Oregon was 6, Bama 7 and Penn State 8 in that one, iirc.
Seems like that's a detail you might want to have correct. We'll see if they fix it.
WTF? No way does the Big 12 get 4 teams in. Not at the expense of mediocre Big 10 and SEC schools.
The Big 12 #2 might get in depending on how other teams/schedules shake out. ISU beating Iowa in Kinnick sure helps our odds as Big 12 #2, but I'm still assuming we have to win the conference. At Iowa might be the conference's best OOC win this year.

If we made it to where we would be in with a home game I hope we have plans for having good grass as normally by the last home game of the season the field gets looking pretty rough.
A home game right before Christmas would be insane.

Worrying about the field conditions at JTS for the first round playoff game is exactly where every Cyclone fan needs to be right now.
We deserve this after 1.25+ centuries of football futility and heartbreak.
See my speculative post #11.
I keep wondering if CBS will revise it, so far it's still incorrect.
A home game in the playoff would be the biggest team accomplishment in ISU athletic history.
The wrestling, cross country, and gymnastics teams might disagree.
Yeah but football is a different animal. You can win nattys in every other sport and the AD is still insolvent. Football controls all.
That’s true, but the homer in me doesn’t want to admit it until ISU actually accomplishes something in football.
