With a win Saturday to get to 6-6, Kansas State can secure a bid to one of the 40 bowl games coming to a near-empty stadium near you.
And with a loss Saturday against West Virginia, one that would drop the Wildcats to 5-7, they can still get to a bowl game.
There aren’t enough worthy teams to fill all of the bowls and, although that’s been the case for many years now, college football bowl games remain popular for people sitting at home during the holidays with nothing better to do.
Most of them, at least.
