June 30, 20187 yr What I've noticed over this decade about Iowa State is that they're a better team than their record shows. They always seem to beat a team that they're not supposed to. They are the ultimate spoilers of the conference.

July 5, 20187 yr Louisiana State, Penn State, Michigan State, Boise State, Miss State, Oregon State, all come to mind before Iowa State.

July 5, 20187 yr Ohio State is the most consistently excellent program in all of College Football since WWII I think. I don't think they have had a slump like we have had ever. I am a bit jealous. Edited July 5, 20187 yr by Valmy77

July 5, 20187 yr U Tenn is a bad example though. The hire Schiano, unhire Shiano, shit show coaching search would be enough to make most talented guys think twice. We'll give until it hurts and then some through the GoR to keep Matt. He'll be gone after that. Wild cards are tOSU and Notre Dame and since I presume both of those fan bases look down their nose at anything ISU related so I'm not that worried. Although, the tOSU AD, Gene Smith was at ISU in the '90s so no doubt he's noticed what Campbell has done so far...We (re)hired Earl Bruce from ISU, and Campbell has solid Ohio ties. When the FBI finds all the dead cheerleaders in Urby's yard, Campbell will get an interview.PJ Fleck will too.

Well you can't fault me if I forgot about Ohio State (I honestly did), as that's the same thing the CFP committee did when picking a team that didn't win it's division over a team that was crowned B1G conference champions after winning the leagues' championship game... I'm sure that was an "honest" mistake as well... Anyway, that would still place Iowa State no worse than the 5th best athletic program with the title "State" attached to the name...

Yeah, I figure we'll get 5 years out of him. So 3 more. It will be much easier to bring a good coach in to follow him with that blue print out there. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he's grooming up some assistant to take over in his wake.

July 5, 20187 yr Hmm... #1 Ohio State - No matter who coaches, this Buckeye program produces, even in spite of not being picked for the CFP last year... #2 Florida State - Bowden put this program on the map, I don't know what Jimbo did, or was that just all Winston "eating a W"... #3 LSU - THe good Cajun food that is available around Baton Rouge makes this a "have to get to know" kind of place for a game... #4 NC State - It has to take as certain kind of fan to endure the Tar Heels & Blue Devils, and still fight for recognition nationally... #5 Iowa State - This is a program that is overlooked & undervalued, a loyal group that is always hospitable representatives of Ames... #6 Penn State - If not for the Sandusky cover up, this school would be higher on the list as the premier athletic brand in the state... #7 Michigan State - This is a solid brand in it's own right, but still in the shadow of UM, a "richer version" of an ag school in the B1G... #8 Oklahoma State - This is a "overachiever", the population of the state & the fact Poke competes with OU for talent is overlooked... #9 Arizona State - This school is higher on the list for the atmosphere around the campus, and that the majority of chicks are hot... #10 Kansas State - The Wizard has done his magic up in Manhattan, but what will be for the 'Cats after he steps away is still unknown... #11 Oregon State - What, didn't this school just beat the hogs in the CWS..? Well that's good enough for me that the school isn't lower... #12 Mississippi State - Down in Dakville, all those cowbells that are rang during the game, it's quite unique to hear in surround sound... #13 Washington State - Well, there's the pirate of Pullman out on the western shores of the Pacific, but other than that, I got nothing... #14 Boise State - The statue of Liberty play & proposal to the cheerleader chick put this school on the map, (not the Smurf turf)... #15 Indiana State - Because, Lary furking Bird man, he single handedly carried a team to the NCAA championship game back in the day..!

July 5, 20187 yr That is one weird list. It seems like you are basing some of it on football, some of it on overall athletic department performance, and some of it on demographics.
