Last summer Iowa State was a College Football betting ticket in the future market. Despite losing most of their key players from the greatest era in program history. The reason for the optimism was Iowa State coach Matt Campbell. Following a 3-0 start in 2022, Campbell became a hot brand on the coaching carousel. And that increased after Nebraska fired coach Scott Frost. Since that time, the Cyclones have lost four consecutive games. Campbell is not getting the love he was in September. However, those losses were all close calls and with newer players. Still, gamblers don’t care.
