Rankings from AP Poll

The 2024 Iowa State Cyclones football team represented Iowa State University as a member of the Big 12 Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by Matt Campbell in his ninth year as their head coach. The Cyclones played their home games at Jack Trice Stadium located in Ames, Iowa. Following a comeback 38–35 win against the UCF Knights on October 19, the Cyclones achieved their best start since 1938, and a 4–0 start in Big 12 play for the first time in program history.[1] With the win against Kansas State in the annual Farmageddon game on November 30, the Cyclones clinched their first ever 10-win season in program history; a win by BYU later that night gave Iowa State the right to play Arizona State in the 2024 Big 12 Championship Game, their first appearance in the game since 2020. Despite coming short against the Sun Devils, they upset No. 13 Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, 42–41, garnering their first 11-win season in program history.
