After some quick math, ISU is ranked 15th among teams participating. Damn, would it suck to not be playing football this fall. Can’t even begin to fathom what that would be like. It would never happen in the shining beacon of strength and stability that is the Big 12. Boy, is it really nice to be in the Big 12.
