ISU and Big 12 - SP+, FPI, and Sagarin 2023

BMWallace
I wanted to see how some of the rating systems are viewing ISU and the Big 12 over the course of the year. I have compiled some of the weekly rating from SP+, FPI, Sagarin, and Massey.

After week 8, these rankings show a consistent distinction with OU and Texas at the top and KSU as the third team. The middle tier is muddy with ISU, Kansas, OSU, TCU, Tech, and UCF shuffling around from week-to-week. While the bottom tier is being further separated with Baylor, BYU, Cinci, Houston, and WVU struggling in recent weeks.

West Virginia University Is Everything That’s Wrong With Higher Education Today

Its president ignored the warning signs about declining enrollment. Now WVU is deeply in debt, in thrall to market-worshipping consultants, and cutting a shocking number of programs and faculty.

Do you prefer to watch professional football or college ball?

I don't know exactly what it is about pro football, but I just can't get into it. Maybe it would be different if there was a team in Iowa but I doubt it. Maybe it is that it is too polished. I can get in watching air force vs wyoming, but I just don't have any interest in watching pro teams. Although I go to super bowl parties, I look forward to the food and the hang, but not really the game. I prefer the halftime commercials. I also feel like the fans in college are typically more rabid about their teams. Not always, but generally. The band helps and so do the students. NFL just seems boring to me.

*** 2023-2024 College Football Survivor Week 9 ***

Tiebreaker points return this year. A reminder regarding tiebreaker points: If your team wins and covers you gain an extra bonus point. If you take a undefeated team who is the underdog you gain the point for them covering plus another bonus point. As the season goes on the number of teams undefeated being a underdog greatly diminish so take advantage while you can.


I will be using ESPN's Lines. Line will be the line at kickoff for tiebreaker points



Rules/How to Play if you are new:

You can only pick teams that are undefeated (they will be bolded).

  1. Pick a team you think will win that weeks game. Pick only 1 team per week.
  2. Don't pm me the pick, post on here your pick.
  3. You can only pick that team ONCE the entire time you are in the game.
  4. The goal is to advance and be the last person standing.
  5. Only games that have a FBS school facing another FBS school are eligible to be picked.
  6. You have up until the start time of the game you picked to switch.
  7. If your team loses, you are out for the competition.
  8. If you skip a week of picks, you are out.
  9. You can switch as many times up until the game you have picked officially starts.
  10. If you have questions, pm me
  11. Post 2 of the thread will have the possible games you can pick.
  12. Post 3 will have each player and their previous week's picks.
  13. You can't join in during the middle of the season.
