Pete MundoHOST
I've got them at number... 13 this week at number 12 the TCU Horned Frogs they make a nice little jump after that win over the Baylor Bears their defense is very good I said this in the preview should have known better the defense has been very good the problem is the offense was just completely inept and I'm not really buying into the offense just yet it was good enough but that defense keeps it up and the offense won't have to be great so very good win on the road against their rival TCU is number 12 out of the At number 11, I've got the Kansas State Wildcats.
Pete MundoHOST
Death taxes and K-State beating KU in the Sunflower Showdown.
Pete MundoHOST
K-State moves up to number 11.
Pete MundoHOST
And what else can you say? The series has been dominated for two decades.
Scott McFarlandHOST
The trip to Arlington is my favorite.
Scott McFarlandHOST
All the ones when I was in college, especially all three that were – because I only got one home Sunflower Showdown in my four years at college because they changed the scheduling.
Scott McFarlandHOST
We went to Lawrence back-to-back years.
Scott McFarlandHOST
So I only got one in college, and that was 2012.
17 MINS LATER
Scott McFarlandHOST
So that is my favorite streak fact.
Scott McFarlandHOST
And then if I could pick uniforms for both teams in the K-State versus KU game, What would I pick? When K sits at home, the classic Bill Snyder 85s or 89s, excuse me, and same on the road.
Scott McFarlandHOST
I am for changing stuff up, not for the KU game, not for the Sunflower Showdown.
Scott McFarlandHOST
And then for KU, when they're on the road, blue helmets with the Jayhawk, the full Jayhawk, white jerseys, white pants.

This is Wildcat Insider with the Mercury Sports Editor, Tim Everson, and KMAN Sports Director, Mitch Fortner.
Mitch FortnerHOST
359 rushing yards for the Wildcats, the second most in Sunflower Showdown history.
Mitch FortnerHOST
This could be just easily just two hours of us just talking about how relieved I am, at least.
Mitch FortnerHOST
That the Cats come away with a victory, legally 18.
5 MINS LATER
Mitch FortnerHOST
Yeah.
Mitch FortnerHOST
Big day.
Mitch FortnerHOST
Second most rushing yards by the cats in a sunflower showdown.
Mitch FortnerHOST
The most, the record is a 373 back in 1995.
Shane DennisHOST
How did KUK State talk? Also didn't want to gloss over that.
Shane DennisHOST
We will talk about the Sunflower Showdown.
Shane DennisHOST
That was in doubt for a half.
Shane DennisHOST
But then it slowly unraveled.
21 MINS LATER
Shane DennisHOST
coming up on the other side of the break.
Shane DennisHOST
Also, we've got some KUK State talk to get to, so football talk will dominate pretty much the whole show.
Shane DennisHOST
But we'll pivot to KUK State and Sunflower Showdown at the end of Hour 1, and I'll probably have some overflow into the 1 o'clock hour.
Shane DennisHOST
And then Player of the Week, coming up about an hour from right now, is Shane and Dylan taking you through a Monday here on The Shane Dennis Show.
Shane DennisHOST
The answer is yes.
Shane DennisHOST
Speaking of KU, they played the Sunflower Showdown on Saturday morning.
Shane DennisHOST
And the result was a familiar one for both teams in that series.
Shane DennisHOST
Wildcats spot KU, an early lead.
Shane DennisHOST
He was at least okay leading into the K-State game.
Shane DennisHOST
And there was, I believe, one of his best games was against Utah week four.
Shane DennisHOST
And He couldn't have had a worse sunflower showdown.
Shane DennisHOST
He had punts of, and I don't know that he punted more than four times.

Pat StrathmanHOST
When you're able to, to run the football as well as they did, that should open up some things.
Pat StrathmanHOST
But the one thing I would say, though, and this has been a problem with Kansas City for a little bit, and that is just finishing drives.
Pat StrathmanHOST
We're gonna get to the Sunflower Showdown here in just a, a little bit, and I can tell you, Colin Klein, the head coach of Kansas State, he was very disappointed in the fact that his team didn't finish more drives in the game against Kansas.
Pat StrathmanHOST
And I would envision that that's the same message for Andy Reid, Eric Bieniemy, and anyone who is working with the offense there for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Mason VothHOST
So we'll cover all that throughout the week.
Mason VothHOST
But today, some cleanup work from the Sunflower Showdown over the weekend because I know that people are still riding high off of that.
Mason VothHOST
And then we will, before that, get into what Collin Klein had to say today.
Mason VothHOST
But before we do that, reminder that K-State and Arizona State is going to kick off at 2.45 p.m. On Saturday, that game time was not announced until yesterday.

Drew GallowayHOST
It is just statistically accurate.
Drew GallowayHOST
Like, you look at everything that K-State did and you look at everything that KU did.
Drew GallowayHOST
Like, this was much closer to, like, the Sunflower Showdown of old than it was, like, 2023 or 2024.
Drew GallowayHOST
Yeah.
Aaron DeckerHOST
And they found out about this 3.30 on a Wednesday that Oakley was out.
Aaron DeckerHOST

Colin Klein's 0-2 in Big 12 play, first-year head coach, and he finds out 3.30 on a Wednesday that his starting tight end is out.
