This is an update to a post I made last year.<\/p>\n
As of the beginning of the 2012 season, Iowa State has played 1,140 football games, according to the NCAA, but the two\u00a0disagree on the win-loss-tie record\u00a0(500-594-46 vs.\u00a0499-595-46). The discrepancy involves two forfeits and the 1907 Nebraska game.<\/a> This does not include an alleged loss to Purdue that likely doesn’t exist<\/a>. (It’s also 15 fewer games than Iowa’s total.)<\/p>\n By the NCAA’s measurement, the win against Oklahoma State was Iowa State’s 500th victory as a program, while by Iowa State’s measurements, the next<\/em> win will be the 500th.\u00a0On the flip side, ISU’s fifth loss of the season will be considered the 600th by the university (NCAA: sixth loss).<\/p>\n Of original Division I-A BCS schools that played more than 1000 games before last year, ISU’s win total is above six: Washington State, Northwestern, Kansas State, Indiana, and Wake Forest. (UConn, vacancy-adjusted Florida State, Duke, Louisville, Boise State, and South Florida all have fewer wins, but don’t meet the 1000-game and\/or I-A threshold. Rice and Houston are also down in the cellar. Florida State’s down here because it was a women’s college until 1947.)<\/p>\n Only Rutgers and Northwestern have played more overall games with more losses, although Kansas State and Indiana are within 20. (Rutgers also has 20-plus more years of games.)<\/p>\n If Washington State wins three more games than Iowa State this season, they will tie on the all-time list.\u00a0If Iowa State wins two more games than Oregon State this season, they will tie. (Mississippi State passed Oregon State last season.)<\/p>\n Here’s an updated version of that table of most-played opponents, with the correction that Oklahoma is the fifth-most-played in football. West Virginia, ISU’s newest conference partner, has series totals of zero, zero, and one.<\/p>\n\n This is an update to a post I made last year.
