Has Iowa State football ever won the Big 12 championship?

By almost every measure, Iowa State’s 2024 football season was a complete success.

With a 29-21 win over Kansas State last Saturday in Farmageddon, the Cyclones finished the regular season with a 10-2 record, marking the first time in program history that they won 10 games in a season.

The successes may not have been fully achieved yet.

On Saturday, coach Matt Campbell’s team will face No. 13 Arizona State in the Big 12 championship game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. A win there would eliminate Iowa State, the No. 16 team in the final U.S. LBM Coaches’ Poll , sending it to the College Football Playoff, where it would be one of 12 teams competing for a national title.

While bigger goals like the playoffs remain on the table for the Cyclones, a conference championship would be quite the achievement for the program.

After all, it didn’t happen very often.

Has Iowa State ever won the Big 12 championship?

When the Cyclones take on Arizona State on Saturday, they will be looking to make history.

Iowa State has never won a Big 12 championship in football since the league’s inception in 1996.

The Cyclones will make their second appearance in the Big 12 championship game on Saturday. The first came during the pandemic-impacted 2020 season, when an 8-2 Iowa State team featuring future NFL players like Brock Purdy and Breece Hall fell 27-21 to Oklahoma in the conference title game.

This Cyclones team defeated Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl, earning its ninth win of the season and setting a single-season program record.
