It will be interesting to see if 2 teams from the Little 12 get an invite.
Maybe but I can't see the second team being ISU now. If they win the conference, obviously they're in. But with how weak their schedule is they needed to be perfect. I don't see any way a 2-loss ISU team with that schedule gets in.

After watching Iowa State and KSU, I had a suspicion Iowa State’s defense was not going to be good this year. After watching Iowa’s offense sputter against that defense, I knew it was likely going to be a long season.
Wow. You do know that they lost both of their starting corners for the season before this game. I'm a Hawk fan, but this revisionist crap is just that. CRAP.

With Clown U's remaining cupcake schedule, they could slide into the Big 12 title game.

IMO, only the Little 12 champ should make the 12 team CFP.


Here is the 5-1 Clown's remaining schedule:

@ Colorado
10/11 2:30 pm ESPN


vs #23 BYU
TBD


vs #25 Arizona St
TBD


@ TCU
TBD


vs Kansas
TBD


@ Oklahoma St
TBD

I don’t know about that. If we play ISU at home and they don’t have their kicker, I think we win. Other than that Cincy beat Kansas and lost to Nebby. I would think we would be 4-1 with their schedule.
Don’t forget, their two starting CBs, too…with that defense they use, good CB play is really important.
Injuries make a difference…there is a reason why some guys start and others come in off the bench.

Yes there are but the 2 starting CBs are gone too…. And CBs are really important to a defense !
That was a huge score by Cy at the end of the half… otherwise their goose was cooked..they still have a puncher’s chance now.
this would not be a good loss for UIowa as far as SOS is concerned… (you guys are like Red Sox fans… they seem to care more about the Yankees getting beat than the Sox winning!);)
Forgot you were a clown fan. It all makes sense now.

Post season games…9-3 Iowa team could be close to the play-offs…especially if the losses are “close losses” to ranked teams..you got get help from your friends.

Right and Iowa went on the road to ISU without their #1 running back, wide receiver and tight end out. Next man in...

We are not squawk fans, the refs were not a factor in that loss it was all on the defense. Now squawk fans are still talking about that Gofer loss a few years ago.
Has an Iowa AD ever held a post-game presser just to throw a hissy-fit about the refs? No…..we’re not that low-class.

Glad to see your Clowns take the L today against unranked Cincy to win me some money!! Now crawl back into your clown car & gtfoh.

Fify. You had some spelling issues in your post. Btw, nice game today. I enjoyed watching it and look forward to several more like it the rest of the season.

Sucks to actually have injuries derail your season, huh............but it couldn't have happened to a more deserving fanbase than yours right now, you arrogant f***ing clowns. 🙂

Stick around, like you said though, because we'll have plenty more ISU losses to celebrate. 😁

I thought the squawks had the week off? Poor performance by the defense today without a doubt. The first half they were beyond horrible, reminded me of the squawk offense, not sure how you guys can handle it week after week. Offense looked sharp at times, but that back to back punts after getting down to 9 points was the game.
No one thought we were going to go undefeated, go back to work and move on to Colorado next week,
Oh, it has to just gnaw at you, doesn’t it? Every time you turn on a game, you’re reminded the Big 12 is less of a conference and more of a clearance-rack collection of leftovers. You know it, I know it, and the rest of the country laughs at it. The “best” teams in your league would be middle-of-the-pack punching bags anywhere else, and the rest? They’re not even worth mentioning.

And here’s the kicker—it’s not going to get better. The talent gap widens every year, the money flows toward the Power Two, and the national spotlight keeps shifting further and further away from Ames and its conference buddies. It must sting knowing the whole nation already files Big 12 football under bad football we don’t bother watching.

The Big 12 is a running joke, and you’re stuck inside of it.

Jeeeebus somewhere, Cy got “rik-rolled” the first 28 minutes of that game today! They were not ready to play and it showed. The second half, Cincy’s inability on how to win a game was the only hope Cy had late. But don’t bull-**** a bull-*******. Campbell “failed “ as a coach today, as they were not ready to play. Iowa’s offense has nothing to do with the game today.
I told you clowns cinci would beat ISU and would smoke iowa. Chief iowa clown @Blackleaf40 doesn’t know football. Big12 kicks iowa’s a$$ on the reg.
if memory serves me, that Cincy QB had UIowa in his “final 5” but not in his “final 3” …about 3 years ago??
