This season has been a disappointment. Even if Kansas State plays with its collective hair on fire next week against West Virginia and makes it to a bowl game without having to lean heavily on APR scores, that the season has fallen short of expectation is not at issue.
It's comforting then to know that the Wildcats can always be counted on to win one game on the schedule every year. Kansas State's ownership of the Sunflower Showdown under Bill Snyder is so complete that the worst iteration of Wildcats football in a decade still managed to win the game in a blowout.
