Is Iowa State a rival? Who's been impressive? Bowl and playoff talk, plus a look at next year's schedule.
1. I think despite the Big 12's attempt, that wasn't a rivalry game
I want to commend Oliver Luck and Shane Lyons for scheduling regional rivals as part of future schedules. The upcoming series between Virginia Tech, Penn State, and Pittsburgh are all fantastic endeavors. I also commend the Big 12 for at least trying to make the WVU-ISU game a rivalry. Despite the best efforts of those involved, not having a true rival this week is absolutely awful for the team.
