This one is always fun.

Build the starting lineup for an imaginary State of Iowa team using players from Iowa and ISU.
 
Iowa's o-line and d-line. Everybody else from Iowa State.

This isn't spot on what I'd do, but I don't care enough to go through player by player.

Wow. I don't know about iowa's team at all, but I think all I can throw out there (knowing what I'm hearing about your secondary) is Tribune and given the way he played last week, Cotton-Moya. Farniok, but I don't know about your center. Jarvis West after last week as well should easily have a spot. I suppose Bibbs. Beyond that - I'm at a loss. Don't know enough about iowa, but I'm not sure anyone from ISU stands out enough to be a clear choice.

Downing has been kicking well too. Perhaps Netten as pk. I understand iowa is kinda suffering there....

Morrissey, LTP, Ott and Davis would be a super salty D-line. King and Tribune would be great CB's. Toss up on Safety and LB's. The best OL IMO are Scherff, Farniok, and Blythe. Smith, West and Bibbs for sure then a toss up everywhere else.

I think Burton is better than Lalk. Donnal isn't that good so you could maybe but Dagel there but that's a toss up. Iowa and ISU's LB's aren't very good

Yeah, I started keeping with the L/R designation from the depth chart, then ditched it when it came to the defense :)

Other than Scherff and Farniok, I have no clue on the OL. Might as well put Campos at RT after the way he played Saturday.

I think this is pretty solid. Not sure who Iowa has on OL, but if you are throwing an ISU guy on there, Burton would easily trump Lalk.
 
I think there's no doubt that you take all of ISU's special teams at this point.

Rudock over Richardson, probably overall but especially if you look at closing out games. 4th quarter QB ratings:

Rudock 153.53
Richardson 78.74


Otherwise, I agree with bawbie, although there are several positions I'd consider toss-ups.
 
Offense:
QB - Rohach (ISU)
RB - Johnson (UNI)
TE - Bibbs (ISU)
WR - Bundrage (ISU) When healthy obviously
WR - Smith (IOWA)
WR - Lazard (ISU)
LT - Scherff (IOWA)
LG - Lalk (ISU)
C - Fariok (ISU)
RG - Walsh (IOWA)
RT - Donnal (IOWA)

Defense:
LE - Morrissey (ISU)
DT - Davis (IOWA)
DT - Trinca-Passat (IOWA)
RE - Ott (IOWA)
LOLB - Knott (ISU)
MLB - Alston (IOWA)
ROLB - Brackens (ISU)
CB - Tribune (ISU)
FS - Lomax (IOWA)
SS - Cotton-Moya (ISU)
CB - King (IOWA)

PK - Netten (ISU)
