Better Know a Big-12 Opponent: the No. 19 Kansas State Wildcats
The School: Kansas State University
Record: 2-0 (0-0 in Conference USA). We know the Wildcats can score 55 points per, but we have no actual idea if they’re actually good since those outbursts came against Central Arkansas and Charlotte (the fledgling football program, and not the female wrestler).
Ranking: No. 18 in the AP Top 25 and Coaches' Poll. Jeff Sagarin has Kansas State rated 19th in his rankings (Vandy dropped from 50th to 57th after walloping Alabama A&M, because computers cannot possibly grasp the power of A&M’s band).
Mascot: The Wildcat. The most cliche of the animal nicknames. Here’s a list of mammals native to Kansas that would have been considerably better choices.
