The Iowa State football team is 6-0 for the first time since 1938 and ranked No. 9 in the Associated Press (AP) poll this week. The 1938 squad won its first seven games before tying Kansas State and finishing 7-1-1.
The No. 9 ranking is the team's highest in the AP since a seventh position to open the 2021 season. The Cyclones remain perfect in Big 12 Conference play (3-0) after beating West Virginia 28-16 last week in Morgantown.
Iowa State returns to Jack Trice Stadium for another night game when it hosts the University of Central Florida (UCF) at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. UCF is 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12 Conference after losing at home to Cincinnati 13-19 on Saturday.
The game will be televised on Fox Sports 1 and available on the Cyclone Radio Network. Resale tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
