I know it's doesn't count as a win against a ranked team, but Cincinnati is better than a lot of ranked teams.

ISU scored after an interception was overturned on an absolutely absurd PI as time expired but cinci is dominating.

Will be interesting to see what voters will do next week if they continue to dominate and Nebraska wins. Cause if cinci keeps it up, they’ll be ranked.

It isn't helping our cause the way Michigan is looking today.

I bet they’ll pull ahead but Wisconsin has a tendency to play teams that they’re overmatched tough. Case in point a 3 point loss to Oregon last year followed by a 19 point L to us.

First we gotta handle our own today.

Outside of the first drive, Michigan is getting their legs under them. If Wisconsin doesn’t answer this drive this may already be out of hand.

….and pick.

215 yds rushing at the half for Cincy.
Maybe ISU is just off today lol

It’s just a bad matchup for Michigan. Wisconsin run defense is stout and Michigan sucks at throwing the ball.

The refs are sure doing everything they can to help Iowa State get in the game.

It’s absolutely infuriating. This is the most frustrating called game I’ve seen since a&m in Lincoln. Forgot how much I hate big12 officiating.

This is definitely one of those, "not as close as the final score indicated" type of games. Iowa State was thoroughly outclassed by Cincinnati.

Yeah if the refs weren’t a joke it would be 45 to 14

I’m learning as each week passes that the Cincinnati victory is more than just en ehhhhhh win. They very well could be the Big XII playoff team when all is said and done

There was a reason Phil Steele had them on his ten most improved teams for 2025 list. His publication comes out last because he does a deep dive and evaluation for each team.

I think a lot of us here knew it was a good win at the time. I just found it amusing after the game with people complaining NU didn’t win by enough or win the right way or got lucky cause Cincy called a pass play.
