I haven't recovered long enough from the bowl trip to update the Cygarin Basketball Ratings, but a quick look-see suggests that we will be about a 7.5 favorite on the road to the Pokes, with a 75%-ish chance of winning.
OSU has had a mixed bag of success and failure in their strength of schedule, having beaten a couple of top-60 teams, and having lost a couple of sub-90 teams. That makes them difficult to pin down a performance capability.
Iowa State,adjusted for on the road, puts us right at the top of their "good" performances, which means that the Clones are definitely within their margin of success range.
Stating the obvious, Iowa State's rating is based on it's early no-so-full roster.
(In my opinion.)
