Just thinking back to all the heat that K-State took over many of the last 20 years, yet, K-State never went a single season during that stretch without playing at least 2 Final Top 25 teams, and most years it was more, including multiple national champions.
ku goes 2 full seasons and plays 1 Final Top 25 team (a loss).
Grats to Mangino . . . one of the finest smoke and mirror jobs in college football history.
