The Cowboys look to avoid an upset at Iowa State on Saturday and improve to 10-0.
The Cowboys are 9-0 and ranked eighth in the College Football Playoff rankings. With the respect the Big 12 is getting from the committee, it’s unlikely a one-loss team makes the playoffs. The Cowboys need to win out.
In many ways, this matchup is similar to a matchup the Cowboys had with the Cyclones in 2011. OSU entered that matchup 10-0 and No. 2 in the nation. The Cowboys ended up dropping the game, along with their national championship hopes. They ended up playing Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl.
