Some wild history if Iowa State finishes off No. 24 Oklahoma State:
• Iowa State had NEVER won a home game when scoring 40+ against an AP-ranked opponent. The Cyclones were 0–5 entering tonight.
• Just 3 points last week, 45+ tonight. First time ISU has followed a game scoring 3 or fewer with 40+ since 1992.
• Most points against a ranked opponent since scoring 48 against Oklahoma State in 2018.
• First home win over a ranked opponent since beating No. 8 Oklahoma State in 2021, snapping six straight losses.
• Jimmy Rogers' first ranked win as an FBS head coach after starting 0–7.
• Three straight wins against Oklahoma State for the first time since Iowa State won four straight from 1960–63.
• A win by 10+ would be ISU's first double-digit victory over Oklahoma State since 2005.
• Aiden Flora has 185 rushing yards and 2 TDs, his third 150-yard game this season, the most by a Cyclone since Breece Hall in 2021.
• Jamal Polite Jr. has 138 receiving yards, the most by an ISU freshman since Todd Blythe in 2004.
• Kyle Konrardy kicked and recovered an onside kick, Iowa State's first recovered kickoff since the 2021 Fiesta Bowl.
• The last 10 Iowa State–Oklahoma State meetings were decided by 7 points or fewer. A double-digit finish would end the second-longest such streak between FBS opponents since 1978.
And one of my favorite connections:
Oklahoma State handed Jimmy Rogers his FIRST loss as a head coach in 2024, snapping South Dakota State's 29-game winning streak.
Two years later, Oklahoma State could become the team he earns his FIRST ranked win against as an FBS head coach.

Penn State is now 4 games into Big Ten play. Matt Campbell/Rocco Becht’s last win against a Big Ten team was vs. Iowa.
Last season.

Playing in the Big 12.

6th best team in the Big 12 on a neutral field put up a better fight than the “best team in the country” at home🤔🤔🤔

Over the last 20 seasons, Big 12 teams not named Oklahoma or Texas are 1-11 vs Top 10 Power 4 teams in the regular season. The lone win being Oklahoma State’s upset over Oregon earlier this year...
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Big 12 teams besides Oklahoma and Texas have multiple regular-season wins over top-10 Power 4 teams in the last 20 seasons, such as Iowa State's 37-31 double-OT upset of then-No. 2 Oklahoma State in 2011.

Seems to me like the people yearn for the Riot Bowl

This is an accurate point. @Hali makes people happy wherever he goes.

The AP player of the week in college football for Week 5 of the season is @CycloneFB 's @FloraAiden. The former walk-on ran for three touchdowns and a career-high 212 yards and passed for two TDs in a 45-42 victory over West Virginia.

The “Riot Bowl” even though it is still a rather new rivalry game, if you can even call it a rivalry game due to mutual respect between fan bases, is one of the most competitively even rivalry game’s in the nation.
First Game: 2012, ISU | 24-31 | WVU
Last Game: 2024, ISU | 28-16 | WVU
Series Record: 6-6
3 unranked over ranked upset victories: 2017, 2018, 2021.
This needs to become an official rivalry/trophy game in the Big 12.

It was great in the second half. Pretty tough to get wound up when the second play from scrimmage is a 55 yard touchdown run that no one touches the running back.
