I took that as our 1998 team was one of the top 5 teams of the period that did not win a title in the year that team existed. Make sense?

Dream season Kansas State wins 12 games by a combined 18 points, shocking the Big 12 and the F.B.S. en route to a shot at an SEC team in the B.C.S. title game.

Finally, somebody gets it

This quote is even more fitting of how I view the season...

"For the life of me, I simply cannot see how it is that the Wildcats can’t win another nine games in the regular season and be a dark horse contender in an even deeper and more dangerous Big 12."
