Previous Ranking: 9
Last Week: ISU 52, WVU 44 (OT)
SEASON COMPLETE
What a great way to end the season for the Cyclones after such a horrible 10-game stretch.
Wins against Kansas and West Virginia should be enough momentum heading into the offseason for the Cyclones to be back to their pesky ways in 2014. By no means will Iowa State be a contender for the Big 12 any time soon, but a six-win team is not out of the question for them. If this team can win two conference games then surely they can find a third win next season to go with a potential three-win non-conference schedule.
If that is going to happen, however, Sam Richardson his going to have to get a lot better in his junior season.
