Iowa St. only makes the Playoffs because the Big 12 has been gutted of virtually all its elite teams

Iowa states season disappearing in the blink of an eye. What a fade.
That ricochet INT should be a gif soon.
Iowa State is completely imploding now.

Hopefully this game ends all the gushing over Iowa State football.

Nah. By comparison this would be Iowa's best performance in a conference championship game in a decade.
BTW, those PAC10 fans have to be puffing out their chests right now. Taking those Big 12 and Big 10 championships in their first years in each league if Oregon wins tonight. Best conference transfer outcomes ever.
If you wouldn't rather have your team playing in a championship today you're not much of a fan either.
Of course I would, but that doesn't make me wish to be a rival. I'm not selling out.
They will have a better shot at playoff next year than Iowa.
Easy now. We were beaten by the midget that's getting their ass kicked right now.
I see where you are going with the obvious sponsor....
State fans for years laughing at Big Ten West skating avoiding top conference teams and losing in conference title. Well they missed out on all the top Big 12 teams this year and getting blasted. 🤔
No offense but it's a short-sighted viewpoint. It's not IF perception and lower revenue will happen as that's already guaranteed with the media deals in place. Iowa will be making 4 times what ISU does in a year alone in two years. If we think the B12 is bad now, what will it look like in 2-3 years? How much will our players be making per year as opposed to a B12 school? It'll take one hell of a booster/donor for those teams to even compete with our media deal (not including NIL) at our level. The B12 won't exist in a decade. They're all only auditioning for a spot in the Big 2.
So yes, right now their path is easier. Would I trade spots with them...absolutely not.
Will Iowa be able to win a title in the B1G, whelp, that's unlikely but at least we'll have a team still in the highest level of college football.
Pretty clear what the problem is for ISU today. They're wearing school colors.
Yep. They will have a much easier path every year. Who would you rather have to beat?
Arizona St
Kansas St
Colorado (we'll see what happens post Deion)
BYU
or
Oregon
Ohio State
Penn St
Michigan
People are blind by hate if they don’t see this. Iowa will never make playoff in current format. Never.
When did anyone on here say Iowa has any business playing for a championship this year?
We don’t……just like the Clowns as proven by getting ROLLED by the #15 team 🤣🤡
True but that'll be the case for pretty much 80-85% of the programs in the country once it's only the B1G and SEC in the playoffs, which will happen soon.
We're closer than a lot of those other programs in getting in on occasion but yeah, it won't be consistent by any means. It'll be a tough road for anyone in all honesty.
Iowa only has to finish ahead of one of those teams to have a shot in B1G. They will regularly get 4 teams in.
ISU has to win the conference. Something they haven’t done in 112 years.
They need to beat some real power teams. Iowa is lucky to score against real teams.
Iowa had the Indiana schedule this year. They just had to beat trash and lost 3 of those.

Iowa wasn’t very good this year. If they’re never better than they are now, then yes, they are never making it.
Matt Campbell is a terrible in-game coach and this is another example. Yet, he is and always will be, the king of Ames.
