Iowa State (0-2) is coming off of a disappointing loss to Oklahoma the past week. Disappointing in that the Cyclones actually hung around with Oklahoma pretty well and looked good but couldn’t get the win, dropping them to 0-2. Akron (2-0) is on fire this season, coming off a win at Northwestern. Don’t expect this game to be an easy out for the Cyclones. However, Iowa State should have the edge here and get a close win.

35-28 Iowa State

Kansas State @ #12 West Virginia

#12 West Virginia (2-0) ought to be plenty fresh after its game last weekend was cancelled.
