Texas, our Top State last week, fared pretty well once again this week, with the Longhorns scoring a top-10 win over Vanderbilt, Baylor blasting UCF 30-3, and Texas Tech staying on top of the Big 12 with a Kansas State road win. Houston took a bad home loss to West Virginia, but overall, things stayed pretty stable.

The Kansas State Wildcats start the season at home against the UNC Greensboro Spartans. The teams meet Tuesday for the first time this season.

This article was originally published on www.si.com/college/oklahomastate as Oklahoma State Can't Hang With Kansas in Hard-Fought Outing. Oklahoma State saw some more encouraging signs, but it didn’t translate to the scoreboard.

Kansas State just landed one of the more interesting commitments of the 2026 cycle, beating out SEC bluebloods like Florida and Georgia to secure a pledge from Swedish defensive lineman Adrian Bekibele.

Texas Tech forced K-State into five turnovers and won easily in the trenches. Johnson had a few big runs for the Wildcats on his way to 88 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. But moving the ball felt like a chore otherwise, as Texas Tech created three fumbles and piled up 12 tackles for loss.

It was a long and grueling Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. It was Kansas State that fell 43–20 to Texas Tech. It surely is a defeat that was shaped almo

Five turnovers, missed tackles and dropped passes prevented Kansas State from knocking off one of the best teams in the country.

K-State won’t return to the football field until Nov. 15 at Oklahoma State. That figures to be one of the easiest games on the schedule. The Cowboys fired coach Mike Gundy early in the season and they are currently riding an eight-game losing streak. They suffered a 38-21 loss at Kansas on Saturday.
