Really pumped about this game. Huge for the state and a monumental opportunity for both teams as far as national recognition goes. Not going to break this game down to much. Just keep going back to this is Iowa State's best team possibly ever, and have a roster loaded with senior talent. Iowa has a much more athletic team then recent memory but if I had to put money down on an offense to make a 4th quarter winning drive, Iowa State is my pick. Heart says Iowa by 60. Head says ISU by 3.

THe new AP rankings are out and both teams are now in the top 10 (ISU #9, Iowa #10).  I can't remember a time with both teams ranKed this high.  This has to be the biggest game ever in the history of the series.

Rumor has it that the Big 12 will be voting maybe as soon as Friday to add BYU, Hou, Cincy and UCF to the conference as a response to Tex and Ok leaving.

With ESPN GameDay coming to Ames on Sat, this will be the Big 12's chance to show that they are not dead yet and may still be considered a power conference going forward.

Now if ISU can find a way to beat a good Iowa team, that could also help with the whole Big 12 is still a power conference narrative.  But if Iowa beats ISU again, that will probably deflate the Big 12's party.

Turnip the volume for this hoedown throw down.  It'll be udder farmageddon.  Certainly the biggest thing in Iowa since daylight savings time.  Too bad it couldn't be played on Fry-Day, but maybe a Saturday matchup Ames to get more outside viewers.

Anyhow yeah I like the Hawkeyes in a close one.

I have a shirt with that logo somewhere, that I got as a souvenir from their Marcus Fizer Elite 8 team, when they played the regional finals in Detroit.

Clemson, Bama, Georgia, Ohio St., Oregon, Notre Dame, A&M should all be rooting for the blender bird

ISU has a better chance of going undefeated or as a 1 loss champ in the Big 12 than Iowa in the Big.

This could possibly give the Clones a spot in the playoff, leaving someone mentioned above on the outside

I don't know about this statement. Historically, Iowa State never won the Big 12 or Big 8 conference football championship. Iowa has won or shared a Big Ten title 11 times. Historically, Iowa has been better.
Looking at schedules, Iowa State plays two ranked teams other than Iowa, namely 4th ranked Oklahoma (at Oklahoma), and 15th ranked Texas (at home).
Iowa has 11th ranked Penn State (at home), and 18th ranked Wisconsin (at Madison) scheduled. Iowa's remaining schedule appears somewhat lighter after this weekend.
There is the risk Iowa plays 3rd ranked Ohio State, Penn State, or Michigan in the Big Ten Championship, if Iowa somehow navigates it's way through to a Western Division title. Iowa State risks 4th ranked Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship.
I believe it is harder to go undefeated in the Big Ten than to go undefeated in the Big 12 which may be what spawned this post because of the nature of rivalries in the Big Ten (especially Iowa's - 3-trophy games (excluding Iowa State) and they are all big rivalries), and home field advantages of Big Ten schools. I can see MedinaBuckeye fact checking this statement and doing a statistical analysis of teams going undefeated in the Big Ten, Big 12, SWC, and include the # of teams in conference play, and actually played, and relative advantages in each conference of HFA, to prove my anecdotal belief to be without factual backup. It just seems that in my lifetime Big 8 Nebraska and Big 8 Oklahoma did not often have strong opponents, aside from each other. Occasionally Colorado; and occasionally Missouri would rise up.
Iowa State hasn't been in either Nebraska's or Oklahoma's position, so they don't have the experience of being king of the hill. Are they now?

Historically, I could agree, but that's long past history for these kids that are playing

it's 2021

history won't matter Saturday and the rest won't matter until after Saturday

I think ISU's path to the post season is easier than Iowa's

perhaps, not much, but.. a bit

It's too early to make definitive statements on schedules, but right now I feel like ISU has a slightly better chance of finishing top 2 in the Big 12 than Iowa does winning the B1G West.
