Iowa State and KSU tied atop the Big 12 for now thanks to OSU playing one less game. Going to be a mess at the top towards the end of the season I expect. ISU blew out Kansas, but it took them a while to put them completely away. End of the schedule is brutal with KSU, Texas, and WVU to close it out.

General Dog posted:I think the possibility is there that an undefeated Cincy actually does get into the playoff if a) the Big 12 fails to produce a team with fewer than 2 losses and b) the Big Ten and/or PAC-12 are unable to produce a team with more than 5 wins Ohio State is probably running the table and into the playoff. I don’t know how any PAC-12 team gets in with only 7 games played. Every other conference would have to have lots of 2 loss teams.

Yea, I guess I figure the Big 10 will adjust their protocols if it looks like it’s going to cost them a spot in the playoffs, but yea it is something to watch for.

Chizik was seen as a good hire, but turned out awful. He also had terrible assistants. Rhoads I think was a good hire, especially because it was in reaction to Chizik. It worked ok for a little while, and I think Pollard made the right call firing when he did. Campbell looks to be a really good hire, but even Campbell has not really transformed ISU yet. They all struggle against Iowa State's long history of ineptitude.

MourningView posted:He finished above .500 once in seven years, in his first year, with Chizik's recruits and getting to play against a super lovely Big 12 North. His career winning percentage is worse than the school's all time winning percentage. He was like three games better than Jim Walden, who once went 0-10-1. He stunk. Well two of those years ISU went 6-7 with the last loss being in the bowl game. Getting to a bowl game has generally been what ISU strived for, so I don't really discount Rhoads for that. I double checked his record, and I'd say Pollard probably gave him one too many years. He should have been let go after going 2-10 in 2014. I think Rhoads was a decent gameday coach, but he couldn't recruit, which showed in the rapid decline once all of Chizik's recruits were gone, and how Campbell's first year was a bust too. I mean he took Chizik's 2-10 team and turned it into a 7-6 team the next year. That has to mostly come from good coaching. Walden also coached for 8 years vs. Rhoads's 7, so it's not a total apt comparison.

MourningView posted:Seasons were shorter back then so if you count bowls he only coached one more game at ISU than Rhoads did. ISU coaches in the last 30 years with a lifetime winning % above .400: Matt Campbell, and he's at .526.

Nebraska definitely wished on a monkey’s paw for this season to happen.
