  • The Big 12 Is USUALLY Competitive, But Iowa State Will DOMINATE This Year, Matt Campbell Difference

    The Big 12 Is USUALLY Competitive, But Iowa State Will DOMINATE This Year, Matt Campbell Difference
    Sep 11 2025
    The Iowa State Cyclones have established the most impressive football resume in the Big 12 this season, and their path to a conference title appears set. At 3-0, the Cyclones have navigated a challenging early schedule with a combination of grit and skill, positioning themselves as a dominant force. Their success is a clear signal that the program is primed to dominate the Big 12 this year.The Cyclones began their season with a statement victory over rival Kansas State in a unique Week 0 matchup in Dublin, Ireland. This hard-fought 24-21 win was more than just a victory; it was a testament to their resilience and ability to win under pressure against a ranked conference foe. The momentum from that international triumph carried into their home opener, where they soundly defeated South Dakota with a final score of 55-7, showcasing a high-powered offense and a stifling defense.Perhaps the most significant victory came in the Cy-Hawk rivalry game, a tense 16-13 win over Iowa. This was a classic rivalry battle that required clutch plays on both sides of the ball. The ability to win in a hostile, high-pressure environment against a well-coached rival demonstrates the mental toughness and composure of this Cyclones team. Each of these three victories—a conference win, a dominant home performance, and a rivalry triumph—has built a case for Iowa State as the team to beat. With this impressive resume, they are not just contenders; they are ready to dominate the Big 12. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYTee up that trip!

  • The AP Poll Has A FATAL FLAW That Will Keep ISU OUT of the CFP, Iowa State Needs to Play PERFECT

    The AP Poll Has A FATAL FLAW That Will Keep ISU OUT of the CFP, Iowa State Needs to Play PERFECT
    Sep 10 2025
    The Associated Press college football poll, while a beloved tradition, is fundamentally flawed by its subjective and often uncritical voting process. The poll, comprised of sportswriters and broadcasters, is supposed to reflect a national consensus on the top teams, but it frequently falls victim to voter bias, regionalism, and a lack of in-depth game film study. This systemic problem creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where established, big-name programs are given the benefit of the doubt, while underdog teams from outside the traditional power conferences or who don't have a national following are left to prove themselves week after week with little room for error. A recent, glaring example of this flaw was the controversy surrounding voter Haley Sawyer. After the University of South Florida (USF) upset the Florida Gators, Sawyer's ballot not only moved the Gators up the rankings, but it omitted USF entirely. In a subsequent video, she offered a flimsy defense of her decisions, which only highlighted the core issue: some voters simply do not care about the poll, and potentially may not even watch the games. For a team like Iowa State, this problem is especially acute. As a member of the Big 12, the Cyclones are already at a disadvantage in terms of media exposure compared to teams in the SEC or Big Ten. Without a constant spotlight, the team's only path to poll respect is through consistent wins, which become even more difficult given the Big 12's propensity for "cannibalization," where good teams beat up on each other. When a voter fails to properly evaluate game outcomes, it directly harms teams like Iowa State by perpetuating the idea that they are not worthy of national attention, regardless of their performance.

  • ANALYSIS: Iowa State's Wins Are FRAUDULENT, Facing Inferior Competition An INCORRECT Thought Process

    ANALYSIS: Iowa State's Wins Are FRAUDULENT, Facing Inferior Competition An INCORRECT Thought Process
    Sep 9 2025
    It's easy to look at Iowa State's early schedule and dismiss their success. After all, the wins have come against teams that aren't exactly setting the world on fire. Critics might point to a low-scoring victory over a struggling Iowa team, a close contest with a Kansas State squad that hasn't found its rhythm, or a win over an FCS opponent in South Dakota that lost to Lamar. This perspective, however, misses the forest for the trees. The real story isn't about the quality of the opponents; it's about the quality of the Cyclones' play in each of those games.The matchup against Iowa was a classic defensive slugfest, but Iowa State's victory was a testament to their own stout defense and unwavering resilience. They held Iowa's ground game in check and made critical plays in the fourth quarter, demonstrating the kind of grit needed to win tight, intense rivalries. Against South Dakota and Kansas State, Iowa State showcased a different, more dominant performance. The offense was balanced and efficient, while the defense continued to be a brick wall, stifling opponents’ efforts to score.A truly good team doesn't just win; it wins with authority and adapts to its competition. The Cyclones have done both. They've showcased the ability to win ugly, grind-it-out games, and they've shown they can dominate when given the opportunity. This level of consistency and adaptability proves that Iowa State is a legitimate contender. Their on-field performance is the most reliable evidence of their strength, suggesting they can hang with and even defeat any team they face this season, regardless of their opponents' perceived quality after the game is over.
