It's really unfair we have to play teams that are good enough to qualify for a bowl game in a bowl game.Maybe a new rule that KSU must be matched up against non P5 teams? Sort of prepare our fans for the schedule they apparently want.
I take back my take on Arkansas, I'm good playing them. I'm just asking not to be matched up with a top 15 or borderline top 10 team like we have 4 of the last 5 years. That's all I'm saying.

Last year Ark was simply much better. We were better than Michigan and should have won in 13. Arkansas was quite a bit better in 11. Of course the converse is we were much better than Syracuse in 10 and managed to blow that game.
wow had no idea an 8-5 team could be ranked so highly by any metric. i guess they played tons of close games but i had no idea.
i really don't care whether or not we win our bowl games. i mean, winning is great but by the next day, i don't care. i guess a win would indicate that we're playing well, so there's that, but it really is meaningless.
