Iowa State non-conf scheduling

[Legend]

Iowa State 1998-2007
Average Rank = 83.3
Gms vs @ v %vs BCS non AA %BCS avW 10+ 10+% T10 T% 0 0%
35 24 10 1 68.6% 11 16 8 31.4% 4.2 8 22.9% 6 17.1% 20 57.1%
NCAA Ranks 87 90 95 80 55 93

Analysis: The Cyclones play basically the same schedule every year – rival Iowa, a I-AA team (usually Northern Iowa), and one or two home games against non-BCS teams. Having Iowa on the slate yearly helps out their opponents’ average wins, but most of the other teams are average to below average (playing 8 I-AA opponents certainly doesn’t help that).They’re middle of the pack in the Big 12 when it comes to challenging schedules, but towards the bottom of the overall rankings.

Fact: The only other BCS team Iowa State has played besides Iowa is Florida State (in 2002)

Fact: Only 5 of Iowa State’s 28 non-BCS opponents have received any coach’s votes in the previous five seasons.

2008 Outlook: Consistent, as usual. The rivalry is @ Iowa, Kent from the MAC, I-AA South Dakota State, and a below-average non-BCS in UNLV.
