fourpinz8	5	Brock Purdy is a Heisman candidate and not a September Heisman. Breece Hall as well, this team can win the Big 12 and may steal a playoff berth├â┬é├é┬á

Charlemagne42	6	If ever there were a year, a magical season for the 'Clones to suddenly appear from within the rustling stalks of corn, make manifest their swirling, seething outrage, claim a championship, and then vanish as mysteriously as they came - it's this one.

DarkLegend64	6	Iowa State is good enough to take down Oklahoma for a Big XII championship. Unfortunately, "good enough" and "will" are two different things. Oklahoma hasn't won 6 straight Big XII titles by accident.
djowen68	6	Returned many key players including QB and RB from a really good team.├é┬á

jchall3	7	No poll momentum here, the Cyclones earn their No. 7 spot on returning talent at a whopping 20 starters. Oh yeah and those starters did pretty good last year with wins over OU and Texas. After a full spring summer and fall camp and one of the hottest coaches in the land, look for Iowa State to make a run at it this year.├é┬á

crownebeach	8	All of ISU's strengths have been covered in abundance on this sub, so I won't rehash them all here. The only question mark I have is on the lines -- they were good but not amazing in pass pro last year, and the breakthrough Big 12 teams of the last few years (2016 WVU, 2017 TCU, 2019 Baylor) have all had issues winning the point of attack when they came up against teams with big, highly recruited blockers and pass rushers.├é┬á Line play is the biggest thing that separates teams with playoff upside from teams with national championship upside.

woakley	8	Iowa State has strong coaching, and returns more starters than most teams in college football. Their recruiting isn't as strong as others, but this is an experienced team that could make noise.├é┬á

KommanderKeen-a42	19	In major games outside of the Big 12, they always look outmatched (ND, Louisiana, etc.). They are a good team and well-coached, but not top 10 until they prove it.
