Iowa State vs. Kansas State: How to watch and stream Farmageddon
Iowa State has a lot on the line Saturday when it hosts Kansas State to end the regular season.
For one, the No. 17 Cyclones (9-2 overall, 6-2 in Big 12 play) are gunning for their first-ever 10-win season. The team has already tied the program record of nine wins, set multiple times but most recently in 2020.
Next, a win over the Wildcats would likely mean a trip to the Big 12 Championship Game next week in Arlington, Texas. Iowa State has played in the league's championship game just once, a 2020 defeat at the hands of Oklahoma that came down to the final drive. It's been more than 100 years since ISU has won a conference title outright.
Here's what else to know about the game, along with how to watch it on TV or in person.

Iowa State vs. Kansas State football series history, results
This is one of the few long-standing matchups that Iowa State actually leads. The Cyclones hold a narrow 53-50-4 all-time advantage in the rivalry, which has been played annually since 1917.
The series is an even 4-4 since Cyclones coach Matt Campbell arrived in Ames and 3-2 in Iowa State's favor since K-State's Chris Klieman was hired.
Iowa State won last year's game, a wild 42-35 affair in Manhattan on a field covered in snow. ISU running back Abu Sama broke several records in the win.
Kansas State football record, stats and more
Record: 8-3 overall, 5-3 in Big 12 play
Coach: Chris Klieman (47-27; 6th year at Kansas State)
The Wildcats entered the 2024 season as one of the favorites to win the Big 12, but the conference slate hasn't quite gone according to plan.
Kansas State lost an early game to BYU before rallying to win its next four. The Wildcats entered November with a 7-1 record, but back-to-back losses to Houston and Arizona State have effectively ended the team's hopes of playing for a Big 12 crown.
Kansas State is still talented and dangerous, however. The Wildcats boast one of the nation's best rushing attacks, led by dual-threat quarterback Avery Johnson (2,297 passing yards, 484 rushing yards) and running back DJ Giddens (1,271 rushing yards). K-State has topped 200 rushing yards in 7 of its 11 games, including 281 rushing yards on 40 carries last week in a 41-15 win over Cincinnati.
Going for 10
The Cyclones are trying to become the first team in the program's 133-year history to win 10 regular-season games. Wildcats' tight end Will Swanson said he wasn't aware of the 10-win milestone until a reporter told him. He indicated he and his teammates would like to keep the Cyclones from achieving it.
"I'll probably have to mention that," he said, laughing.
Up and running
K-State quarterback Avery Johnson appears to be back to his old self. The staff tried to reduce his rushing attempts after he was injured Oct. 12 at Colorado. There were no limitations on him in last week's 41-15 win over Cincinnati. He ran 10 times for 70 yards, including a 33-yard burst and a 21-yard touchdown.
"People saw when he's healthy, we're really good on offense," Klieman said.
Iowa State vs. Kansas State football weather forecast: Cold, but no snow
Temperatures are expected to be in the teens in Ames, but no snow is in the forecast. Heavy snow fell during last year's game in Manhattan, Kansas. Abu Sama III ran for 276 yards and three touchdowns and the Cyclones' defense made a fourth-down stop in the final minute to preserve a 42-35 victory.
"I just remember the snow and Abu running wild," ISU receiver Jayden Higgins said. "There definitely was a lot of snow on the field."
K-State's Swanson said the game reminded him of a backyard football game but that it "panned out terribly."
"Some spots there were 6 inches of snow," he said. "I remember I caught a ball and I got tackled. I was face-first in the ground and had a pound of snow between my face and my facemask."
Iowa State vs. Kansas State injury report
Klieman said RB Dylan Edwards could return against the Cyclones after sustaining a no-contact leg injury two weeks ago against Arizona State.
Campbell said S Drew Surges will be available and DT J.R. Singleton and TE Ben Brahmer are on track to play.
