The Kansas State football team is off to a 2-2 start, and it’s going to be hard for the Wildcats to live up to preseason expectations from here.
With only Big 12 games remaining on the schedule, K-State might have to get used to life as an underdog.
Advanced statistical data from SB Nation college football writer Bill Connelly projects K-State as a favorite in just one of its eight remaining games — against Kansas at home — and as a double-digit underdog in every other matchup. Connelly’s numbers suggest the Wildcats have better odds to lose out and finish 2-10 (16 percent) than they do to win four more games and become bowl eligible at 6-6 (3 percent).
