Following a 4-8 flop in 2022, Iowa State rallied to finish 7-6 in 2023, including 6-3 in Big 12 Conference games. Matt Campbell rallied a group of obscure players unwanted by bigger programs and put Iowa State in a bowl game for the sixth time in seven years. Thus, in 2024, in the reformed Big 12, Iowa State was expected to be a serious player. Iowa State did not win the Big 12 Conference but had a landmark campaign, finishing 11-3 with a final national ranking of 18th.

Campbell has built a remarkable culture in Ames, where the program is everything. Iowa State is not a place for players who are solely focused on the money. Instead, it's for tough kids who work and play hard. And it’s a proven recipe for success.

Iowa State should be in the mix to compete for a Big 12 title. Head coach Matt Campbell has built a winning culture in Ames, and in a Big 12 Conference that is in transition, Iowa State should benefit from Campbell’s consistency.

2025 Iowa State Cyclones Preview

Iowa State has been playing college football, at least as an acknowledged program, since 1895. Throughout all that time, it has only two pieces of a conference title. In 1911 and 1912, Iowa State was the co-champion of the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association. There was once a tie for the Big 12 North title in 2004, but it was only 4-4 in Big 12 play, and Colorado went on to get walloped by Oklahoma. That’s why the run to the Big 12 Championship game was such a big deal, and why the loss to Arizona State was so disappointing.

A win would’ve been the school's first outright conference title, and it would’ve meant a trip to the College Football Playoff, a first-round bye, and - as it turned out - a shot at Texas in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

However, the Cyclones lost 45-19 and went on to play in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, beating Miami 42-41, partly because Hurricane quarterback Cam Ward quit on his team at the end of the first half, having set the D-I record for touchdown passes. It was still the best season in the history of Iowa State football.

The program had never won ten games in a season before last year. It won 11. It was also the second time in five seasons that Iowa State took a bite at the championship apple - in 2020, it lost to Oklahoma 27-21.

The 2025 Cyclones, in many ways, are better. The receiving corps and defensive line should take a step back, and the O line could use a little work, but the skill parts are strong, the defensive back seven/eight should be terrific, and there’s no team on the slate the Cyclones can’t beat.

The Iowa State Cyclones do not have a storied history when compared to other programs. Since the program's founding in 1895, Iowa State has achieved only three Top 25 finishes. Iowa State has had some notable former coaches who, unfortunately, gained fame at other schools after using Iowa State as a stepping-stone. Johnny Majors and Earl Bruce are two of those famed coaches who found national notoriety at other programs.

Majors and Bruce led Iowa State to its first four bowl games in the 1970s, before a long, dark period of postseason misery ensued. However, since 2000, Iowa State has appeared in 13 bowl games. For Iowa State, a bowl season is about as good as it gets.

Matt Campbell’s arrival in 2016 changed program expectations somewhat. Campbell has produced bowl games in six of the past seven seasons. In 2020, Iowa State achieved its best final ranking to date, 9th. However, Iowa State has proven to be a challenging environment in which to sustain such success. Campbell has done as good a job as is humanly possible. Iowa State fans love that he turned down NFL and bigger-name college jobs to stay in Ames. As long as Campbell is on the sidelines, Iowa State will be a dangerous team.

Wager Cash Out - How it works

With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.

In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.

It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
