To build excitement for the upcoming season, I will be releasing an individual team preview for each of my top 25 teams every day from now until the season starts on Thursday night. The preview continues with #19 Kansas State.
2013 Review
The Wildcats opened the year with an upset loss to North Dakota State. After the loss they would continue to look less than stellar as they figured out the best way to use their two quarterback system. After a 2-4 start to the year, Kansas State closed out the season winning five of its last six games, with their only loss coming to Oklahoma. They would finish the year 7-5 and get a 31-14 win over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
Season Outlook
Kansas State could be this years version of Auburn. They have the talent and are still slept on by most people in the college football world. They open the season with two easy games against SF Austin and Iowa State before going on the road against Auburn. After an easy win against UTEP, Kansas State opens conference play with four tough games in a row against Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Texas, and Oklahoma State. Luckily for the Wildcats, Oklahoma is the only road game in that stretch. They should be able to win at least two of these games. Kansas State ends the year with three very winnable games against TCU, West Virginia, and Kansas, before they end the year on the road against Baylor.
Season Prediction
9-3 (7-2) 3rd in Big 12
