The Cyclones of Iowa State had a pretty good season for their standards last season. They based most of their success on defense, finishing 25th in points allowed last season. The only issue is that most of that defense is gone and the offense was not very good, finishing 97th in points scored per game. Iowa State will probably finish in the bottom half of the Big 12.
Utah on the other hand is expected to come first or second in the MWC and will have some very exciting games to watch this season. This will probably not be one of them.
Iowa State is ranked 82nd while Utah is ranked 22nd in the Sporting News Top 100. This game's kick has not yet been determined when it will be, but it will be on Saturday, October 9th. It hasn't yet been determined where this will be televised yet either.
Voting begins at 11:00 A.M. MT every morning and lasts 24 hours.
