This week's College Football 25 simulation includes full game footage! Last week, we had some technical difficulties getting the gameplay to download/upload, but we're back to a smooth operation for this big clash between West Virginia and No. 11 Iowa State.

The simulation had some weird numbers with the Mountaineers not throwing the ball a ton (11 times) and failing to have a 100-yard rusher. Nonetheless, WVU came away with a 24-10 victory. The simulator is 3-2 on its predictions for the season.
