K-State v Oklahoma Preview

The Texas Longhorns have a bye this week before Big 12 play, so Your Central Texas Sports Station, 101.7 The Ticket gives you the a great Big 12 match up this week...Kansas State vs Oklahoma.

This is a matchup between two top-15 teams, so the implications on the surface are obvious. If the Wildcats pull off the on-the-road upset, they will most likely be graciously rewarded with a spot in the top 10.

On the flip side, if Oklahoma loses, they will likely plummet to about where Kansas State is ranked currently—maybe even lower depending how other top-20 teams do this weekend.

However, losing this game for either team means that the rest of the season is going to be an uphill battle.

Being that this is the first conference game for each team, both still have to face a rigorous conference schedule that includes matchups against West Virginia, Texas and TCU (all of which could win the conference this season).

Losing this game doesn't necessarily mean that either team should lose all hope for winning either a conference or national championship, but it certainly doesn't make the journey to those coveted prizes easy.

101.7 The Ticket broadcast begins at 6:15pm CT with kickoff set for 7pm CT.
