If KSU can manage to win the next 2 games (@OSU and @ TTU), we will be in a surprisingly similar situation to 09-10 (best season under Frank):
In 09-10, after 7 conference games, K-State was 4-3, after a 12-1 Non-con in which the best team we beat was kenpom #14 Xavier.
In 11-12, after 7 conference games, K-State could be 4-3, after an 11-1 Non-con in which the best team we beat was kenpom #14 Alabama

Take it for what you will
