Iowa State is up a spot to 16th in the latest AP Top 25 as they prepare for Saturday’s Big-12 Championship Game in Dallas against 12th ranked Arizona State. The Cyclones beat Kansas State 29-21 to close the regular season. It is ISU’s first 10-win season in program history.
That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell. Iowa State’s ticket was punched after BYU beat Houston. The Cyclones were part of a four-way tie for first and will make their first appearance in the title game since a 27-21 loss to Oklahoma in 2020.
Campbell says senior leadership has been a big part of their success.
The Cyclones are 10-2 and have a shot at a spot in the college football playoffs.
Arizona State is also 10-2 and the Sun Devils were picked to finish 16th in the Big 12 preseason poll.
