ESPN Big 12 Blog ranked Kansas State eighth overall for the upcoming 2011-2012 football season. The only teams not ranked higher than the Cats are Kansas and Iowa State. This is tough to swallow and shows that the competition in the conference got a lot tougher. It was more of a shocker to see Texas ranked sixth in the conference and shows how hard this conference will be in football.
"8. Kansas StateArthur Brown is better than people think, and Bryce Brown won’t be quite as good. Collin Klein? About what they expect. The new Big 12 makes Kansas State a victim and the Wildcats miss the postseason."
Hopefully, the Cats can steal a few wins and end up in the upper half of the conference and be bowl eligible. Do you agree with the rankings?
