How many games will the Cyclones win this year?

I say 5. They truly have some good skill players that are as good as most teams the Hawks will play. The OC didn't consistently adjust well in the 4th quarter.

They truly don't have a complete team and are really bad at certain positions. As the season progresses and injuries mount, the competitiveness will decrease.

We as Hawk fans still don't know where the Hawks are at. Iowa State looked a lot like Iowa on D against Florida last year. Lot's of missed tackles. Hawks had their share as well.
 
UNI - W
Iowa - L
@ Akron - W
Texas - W
@OK - L
Kansas - W
@TT - W
TCU - L
@WV - L
Okie St - L
@Baylor - W
@KSU - L

6-6

I actually think 7-5. they were better than I expected. This doesn't really worry me as an Iowa fan, because I know it isn't sustainable in Ames.

I think they win the next two. Lucky scheduling to be getting Texas early and on a Thursday in Ames. I think they beat Akron, KS, Tex, TT, and Baylor, and then steal 1 of the 3 between KSU, TCU, and WV. I picked the home game.
 
UNI--W
Iowa--L
at Akron--W
Texas--L
at Oklahoma--L
Kansas--W
at TT--L (Texas Tech will score big at home against ISU's D)
TCU--L
at West Virginia--L
Oklahoma State--L
at Baylor--L (By late November, Baylor will be a much better team than they are today. HFA gives Baylor the tight win)
at Kansas State--L

3-9 (1-8)

Yours is probably worst case, Boat's is probably best case, so split the difference and it's 5-7. That's probably how it ends up at the end of the day....
 
I do not know enough about the Big 12 teams to predict ISU's record; I do think I know enough about ISU to say that they are a pretty good football team. I think Iowa can be pretty proud of that victory.

The thing that probably hurts ISU the most is that of the four games they have with the other teams who are with ISU as the five worst teams in the Big 12 (in my estimation and according to multiple computer rankings, that's WVU, TT, Baylor, and Kansas), three of those four games are on the road. West Virginia, Texas Tech, and Baylor are all neutral field toss ups and home team favored either way, so it's a real bummer for Iowa State that all those games happen to be on the road this year while games that are obvious wins or obvious losses (Kansas, OkSt, and TCU) are at Jack Trice.
