Kansas State Gets the Win
Kansas St comes in at -1. Kansas State has been ranked almost the entire season while TCU has struggled mightily. TCU desperately needs this game to bolster their tournament resume, but Kansas State is looking to get up to a 3 seed or higher in the tournament. I think the Wildcat defense will be the story in this one as they will shut down the Horned Frog offense. The Wildcats are extremely experienced and will not be rattled by the road environment. Take Kansas St -1.
