Join Sam the Man and Guest Marcus Dean as they delve into their College Football Bowl Series Preview & Prediction show. Both of these teams had great expectations when the season first began. Iowa State was looking to capitalize upon their 2020 appearance in the Big 12 Championship Game. They started the season ranked in the Top 10 with hopes of moving up from there. Clemson, a perennial College Football Playoff team, was moving forward after Trevor Lawrence was the number one draft pick in the NFL this year. Clemson started the season hoping to make a big statement with a game in Charlotte against Georgia. The Dawgs won that game and ended up in the CFP. Clemson lost and didn’t make it to the CFP after being in the playoffs the last six seasons. Iowa State also had an early-season loss, losing to in-state rival Iowa in the CyHawk game in Week 2. This will be the first time the two programs have met. This particular bowl game has been in existence since 1990, and it’s the second year with Cheez-It as the sponsor. Since 2014, the matchup has been the second pick after the CFP/NY6 bowls from the ACC and the third pick from the Big 12. Clemson is 2-1 in this bowl, having last appeared in 2014 with a win over Oklahoma. Iowa State has appeared once, a 2019 loss to Notre Dame. Watch and Find Out Who we Pick!!!
