Both teams enter the 2025-26 NCAA season ranked inside the top-25. Iowa State slots in as the 22nd-ranked team in the country after an impressive 11-3 season in the Big 12, and a victory in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.
Kansas State, which comes in as the 17th-ranked team in the nation, is led by Avery Johnson, who put up impressive numbers last year as a sophomore. Johnson threw for over 2,700 yards while adding another 600 on the ground and accounted for 32 total touchdowns.
Johnson is the player to keep an eye on in this one, as he looks to continue to display his dual-threat talents.
Iowa State might have its hands full slowing down Kansas State’s offensive attack, making it important to also put points up on the board.
