This is the big game on Saturday if you live in the Midwest between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
Predictions: The game will be closer than last year's 35-3 blowout won by Iowa.
Both Iowa and Iowa State could be better teams than they were last year, and both teams had bowl wins.
Both teams are well coached. Iowa by Kirk Ferentz and ISU by Paul Rhoads.
The game being in Iowa City is a big plus for Iowa.
Enjoy this rivalry, there is a chance this game might not occur with scheduling problems coming from conference realignment.
The final score will be 23-20 Iowa State.
Yes, I'm an Iowa State fan.
