Iowa State Cyclones
Peterson: Let's make a case for an All-American Breece Hall https://t.co/AmMDoyjGu1 via @DMRegister
I can confirm after getting yelled at yesterday that Iowa State fans — whose team probably won’t make the playoff — care deeply about this season.
It’s a matter of perspective. Yes, Auburn fans will be ticked if the Tigers aren’t in the Playoff hunt late. Indiana fans? Happy.
"I’m worried about the sport overall," he said. "I’m worried about the focus strictly on the playoff, that if you’re not one of the playoff teams, 'Why does it even matter, who cares?’"

I think Gary Patterson might remember it a little bit. And it's a valid point. I think if Iowa State was 4-0, it'd be dismissed outright by CFP. Unfairly so.
Irony watch: anyone remember when Big 12 was penalized in 2014 for having one less “data point”. Now we’re having the same debate over a team with four less data points. Yeah, yeah COVID ... Still.
RT @TravisHines21: Iowa State is ranked ninth in the country by the College Football Playoff committee.
Hear @RandyPete and me talk about it

CFP cmte chair Gary Barta on No. 9 ISU: The game against Texas on the road was a heck of a football game. Combined with win v No. 11 Oklahoma, they're in first place in theBig 2. BrockPurdy is just a winner.They've got one of the better runningbacks in the country inBreece Hall.
Gary Barta on Iowa State: Their win at Texas was "a great football game," they previously beat Oklahoma. They're first place in the Big 12. Praised Brock Purdy as "a winner" and Breece Hall as "one of the best RBs in the country."
Gary Barta on Oklahoma State: Win over Texas Tech + previous wins over Iowa State and Tulsa + several teams around them losing led to big jump.
Well, now I feel even better about moving Iowa State (now No. 9) into my New Year's Six lineup this morning.

The committee gave Iowa State a big bump for winning at Texas, but it also dropped Texas from No. 17 to out entirely.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma State JUMPED from No. 23 to 15?
The committee vaulted Iowa State up to No. 9 after its Texas win, so it's now rewarding the head-to-head win over Oklahoma. Last week, the Sooners were 2 spots ahead of the Cyclones.

RT @celebrityhottub: Texas’s three-point loss to Iowa State was the program’s 27th game decided by one score since Tom Herman took over. Only one FBS school’s had more close games in that span. https://t.co/WoAyA7D1WD
Jamie Pollard sounded optimistic (in my opinion) that fans would be allowed into Jack Trice Stadium for the 2:30 p.m. West Virginia game.
Jamie Pollard says on the coaches' show that ISU will announce on Tuesday how many fans (if any) will be allowed into the stadium Saturday
Peterson: Winning the Big 12 football title is more significant in 2020 than in past seasons https://t.co/owKUNAqO4d via @DMRegister
RT @_Brian_Hamilton: DePaul postponed its Dec. 3 game with Northern Illinois, citing the need for more time to come off a COVID-related pause and safely return to competition.
The Dec. 6 game at Iowa State is still on the books.
The Iowa State fans are arguing with me. (Why? I don’t know.) The Texas fans all seem to agree with me.
@Andy_Staples Andy, you won’t “win” any arguments with these delusional @TexasFootball fans.
They are looney koo koo.
I said Texas should never lose to Iowa State with a Big 12 title game berth on the line. I never said Texas should never lose to Matt Campbell.
In fact, I said before the game that if Iowa State did beat Texas, it would be a great argument for Texas going after Matt Campbell.
@Andy_Staples Lol, then it isn’t about beating Iowa State then. You just refuted you’re own argument.
Also, if Texas should never lose to Matt Campbell, then why are you suggesting they should hire him? If football games were purely won and lost by recruit rankings you wouldn’t need coaches.
