Not surprising I guess given how dominating ASU looked. No home field advantage although I suspect Iowa St will likely travel better than ASU

I do understand ASU will be the #1 seed, so I will take it for whatever it is worth.

Sun Devil fans are excited, so I think a number of them will travel.

I am reading that Iowa State is near the bottom of the Big12 in rush defense (15th). Skat's mouth must be watering already.

But with JT out, perhaps this will allow Iowa State to load the box more to try to stop him. If they do this, I think Leavitt has matured enough to check out and find ASU's other receivers. Guillory has really started to come into his own and Stovall has been clutch. And don't forget 6 4 Troy Omeire who really flashed last year, but seems to have been kept off the field this year due to JT's rise. So I am thinking our offense should be fine.

Also, ASU has developed some shorter crossing routes, which help young receivers get the ball quickly more so than the longer developing routes.

I think the fact that Leavitt has been so reliant on Tyson and Metayer that one wonders why he doesn’t look other ways. Those guys not getting separation? Confidence in them? One would think those other guys would see exclusively single coverage.

I expect the Cyclones to sell out the farm on stopping Skattebo and put it all on Leavitt minus his safety blanket

It would be great to win next week and win the conference, of course... a huge feather to cap an amazing season.

Beyond that, I don't really have any expectations for the CFP. But they are playing with house money at that point, anyway, so anything more is all gravy and chocolate cake for dessert... to mix a bunch of metaphors. :D

Cam Skattebo needs 134 yards to reach 2000 yards in the Big 12 Championship matchup and that is missing a game.

Hopefully, Tyson will be ready for the CFP games afterward, but it's probably wishful thinking.

I thought we would have heard something definitive by now.

We should hear at his Monday press conference, usually posted on Youtube around 1145 am

It's absolute nonsense that Indiana is in the top 10.

Need an ASU win and a Boise St loss
