When the Cyclones clip the Jayhawks it won't be considered an upset by those who follow ISU. The red and gold deserve to be ranked among the best in the Big 12. In other words, they can play with any team in the country and come out on top. ISU might surprise ESPN analysts. But those of us who recognize the wisdom of The Mayor already expect a victory.
