Cyclones tumble down to No. 25 just weeks after being in the Top 10
Iowa State is one of four ranked Big 12 teams with BYU leading the pack at No. 8. Kansas State is ranked 19th this week followed by Colorado at No. 20. The Cougars remain atop the conference standings alone after their stunning comeback vs. Utah late Saturday night.
The Cyclones, meanwhile, will need to figure out their problems quickly. They return home this weekend to face Cincinnati under the lights at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames before finishing up the season with games against Utah on the road and back home vs. Kansas State to conclude things. “We just are not as good of a team as we need to be to win a football game right now,” Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell said. “The kids played as hard as they can but it’s a unique challenge we are facing and have faced all season. They are trying to do everything in their power to win games but the detail has to be better. That’s on myself and the coaching staff to make that detail and precision better because that is coaching, and we are accountable for that.
Iowa State is still in the running for one of the top spots in the Big 12 title game. Currently, those roles are filled by BYU and Colorado with Heisman Trophy contenders Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders. Oregon received all 55 first-place votes this week to remain atop the rankings followed by Ohio State, Texas, Tennessee and Penn State. Indiana, one of just four unbeaten teams left with the Ducks, Cougars and Army, is sixth. Georgia tumbled down to 10th after suffering a loss to Ole Miss, who is one spot behind them in 11th.; Pittsburgh 28; UNLV 17; Memphis 11; Navy 3; James Madison 2; Illinois 2; Duke 1.
