Current system ROBBED KSU of their chance at an NC.  Don't think the stars will ever align like that again.

Don't think the stars will ever align like that again. 

they probably will this year FUCKFACE!

I hope Snyder empties his depends at the 50 after we clobber OU in Norman.

I hope the guy in the helmet is you.  Cause you're a Brent Venables (a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)).

That guy is one of the great qbs to come through KSU ("Quarterback U").

We would have mopped the turf with FSU and partied past Tenn.

Screw you Stoops!

[Kat Kid]

2002 we probably make it.

[Shacks]

2002 we probably make it.

Doubt it.  We were #6 at the end of the regular season.  1-5 was Da U, Ohio State, Iowa, Georgia and USC.  The first two were undefeated and the next two only had one loss.  Don't see the committee liking KSU more than any of those teams because we're the purple-headed stepchild of elite programs.

[Testy Westy]

We'll never get in unless we're undefeated or if we have one loss to one of the other three playoff teams (probably still a 1% chance)

Interesting. This proves UC-Boulder should have three national championships instead of one, which I will now begin to claim.

'88-89 against ND and 2001, when they got ambushed by Oregon but would have won it all in a fair fight.

Geaux Buffs, owners of (at least) three national championships (and counting).
