AMES, Iowa – Could BYU vs Iowa State be an upset spot to watch on the week nine college football schedule?
The undefeated and 11th-ranked Cougars sure hope not. BYU enters the matchup against Iowa State with a perfect 7-0 record and a 4-0 mark in Big 12 play.
Despite being one of only six undefeated teams remaining in college football this season, many prognosticators see BYU as the underdog in this matchup.
It’s a similar spot BYU was in last year, when they traveled to UCF in the final week of October as a road underdog. BYU won that game by double figures.
Today’s game is the sixth meeting all-time between these Big 12 foes.
Iowa State leads the all-time series 5-0, with the last meeting being a 45-13 Cyclones victory in Provo in 2023, the first matchup between the two as Big 12
