6-0 Teams Rising! Iowa State and BYU Shatter Expectations in the Big 12

October 16, 2024

The Big 12 has just reached the midpoint of the current season, and it has witnessed two massive surprises in the form of Iowa State and BYU. As of now, both teams boast an impressive 6-0 record and are taking the sports world by storm. Prior to the start of the season, neither the Cyclones nor the Cougars were tipped to be top contenders in the league, but they have defied expectations in style. In fact, AP voters have taken notice of their remarkable run and have cast their votes, ranking ninth-placed Iowa State fifth and No. 13 BYU seventh in terms of overall team performance. When it comes to individual performances, no one has been more crucial for Iowa State than quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who has been phenomenal and taken his team to new heights. In the AP vote for top player in the league, Shedeur Sanders came out on top, drawing praise from pundits and fans alike. The cyclones head coach Matt Campbell, who was picked as the Big12s top coach has also played a crucial role in this resurgence. Campbell boasts great tactics and his ability to get the best out of his players has shown in the team performance and winning ratio. Currently ranked fifth, Iowa State is aiming to secure a prominent spot in the College Football Playoff rankings and needs to keep up the momentum for the second half of the season. Similarly, the Cougars from BYU are also seeking to prove themselves as serious competitors in the Big 12 with a combination of skill and sheer hard work and team cohesion.
