Cygarin has posted the preseason ratings for Sagarin and Cosgrove.
Cygarin’s College Sports Ratings – Preseason Ratings
If you are a stats junkie you need to check out this site. Using the rating systems Cygarin compares all Big 12 and Big 10 teams, gives odds for all Iowa State and Iowa games for the year, predicts the wins and losses for the Cyclones and Hawkeyes and compares the strength of schedules for both conferences.
It changes from week to week based on the results of the games. Which is good news for Iowa State, because the preseason ratings aren’t pretty.
Sagarin says:
ISU is the 11th best team in the Big 12 conference
ISU will finish with a 4-8 record
ISU is a 17 point favorite over the Golden Flashes on Thursday
Cosgrove says:
ISU is the worst team in the Big 12 conference
ISU will finish with a 1-11 record
ISU is a 7 point favorite over Kent State
