According to the Kansas City Star, Kansas State’s bowl hopes are alive and well.

Despite four consecutive losses, the Wildcats do still have hope. If they win Saturday at Nebraska and the following Saturday at home against Missouri, K-State becomes bowl eligible.

However, that seems like a lot to ask from the Wildcats, 4-5 overall and 1-5 in the Big 12, these days.

Forget mid-December bowl games. This is a battle to regain honor lost.
