16.2, +1.0, +3, 17.1 (17th), 15.2 (17th). After losing to #4 TCU, K-State actually moves up slightly due to continued strength of schedule boosts from Texas Tech and Tulane

+1

Tough loss especially without Martinez. Not going to ding them too much for this one— they gave everything they had.

Kansas State blew a lead against TCU and picked up their first Big 12 loss on the season, their 2nd overall in 2022. The offense sputtered and the defense took their foot off the gas too early. It’s the kind of loss that stings, but KSU needs a quick turnaround because they host Oklahoma State in a game that could put them right back in the Big 12 race.

It's tough to have a halftime lead against a Top-10 team slip away like that, but K-State is still a solid team deserving of being ranked.

rough game upcoming, that Oklahoma win isn't looking as good, but stil already 6 wins is solid

Close loss to one of the top teams while on the road shouldn’t be penalized too much

I think there starts to be a drop off in talent from 19 and down

I just want to say sorry to Coastal, the only unranked one-loss team, but like don't lose to ODU by 28 maybe. Anyway, for KSU they good, Deuce is my fave, and the losses aint too bad.

(-8) Kansas State lost a game where they blew a lead to TCU and that has them falling quite a bit, especially considering Adrian Martinez got hurt which does not look good for them in weeks going forward. Hopefully he is healthy for next week and weeks going forward. The head-to-head loss against Tulane also forces me to put them underneath the Green Wave.
