Sooner or never

I got ahead of the game this time and updated my in-depth study of the Iowa State-Oklahoma football series in the off-season. One thing I discovered while adjusting the numbers:

In the Bob Stoops era, Iowa State has been tied with Oklahoma at 0-0 for more aggregate game time than it has held a lead.

The main update part is about the charts, below. Now that Indiana is playing Michigan and Ohio State on an annual basis, I threw the Hoosiers’ futility against the Buckeyes into the home/away winless lists. I think that’ll be there a while. (Meanwhile, this year Kentucky will be playing Alabama for only the eighth time in the past quarter-century, and at Tuscaloosa for the only time between 2008 and at least 2026 unless the SEC goes to nine conference games.)

Iowa State could beat Oklahoma in three out of every four matchups and still be more than 20 games behind in the record at the turn of the next century.
