 is without the hype. So I'm pretty bullish on Iowa State this year. I think they're a legitimate Big 12 title contender. If they can stay in the hunt, the final two weeks will determine their fate. They visit preseason favorite Utah, then host a Kansas State team picked to finish second in the preseason poll. Big 12 media days begin later today in Las Vegas. There is a new top-ranked team in the final Radio Iowa Baseball Coaches Association high school poll.
