A three-game win streak has certainly changed the complexion of the season for Kansas State. Just a few weeks ago, we gathered here wondering if the Wildcats were even going to be able to sneak into bowl eligibility, Now the Cats are 6-3, and looking to position for a better bowl game, and an 8 or 9-win season.
But standing in the way is an odd nemesis for the Wildcats. After losing the first four against K-State after joining the Big 12, the West Virginia Mountaineers have won five straight against the Wildcats, including a surprising win in 2019, when the Cats fell 24-20 to a WVU team that ended up missing a bowl game while K-State eventually finished 8-4 on the regular season.
