Say hello to the newest school to crash the College Football Playoff party.No. 14 Kansas State didnt upset No. 11 Oklahoma on Saturday in a 31-30 win. The Wildcats were the better team, just like the last time they won in Norman in 2012. Kansas State also has enough of the right ingredients to give 75-year-old coach Bill Snyder a long-awaited shot at the title."We didnt play as well as we could, Gerson Bautista Jersey " Snyder said on the telecast afterward. "We didnt make the critical errors."Oklahoma did. A blocked extra point, an end-zone interception and two mi sed chip-shot field goals led to another lo s that James Paxton Jersey will inexplicablybe linked to Katy Perry and Trevor Knight.MORE: | | Maybe Perry should give Jake Waters a call instead. That is, if shes into gutty quarterbacks with a knack for making the big play at the right time. Waters fought through a shoulder injury and finished with 225 pa sing yards, 51 rushing yards and three total TDs.Snyder trusts Waters, enough to play through injury, enough to lead three TD drives after Oklahoma scored touchdowns, enough to complete a six-yard pa s to Curry Sexton on third-and-3 to close out the Sooners on the games final drive.The Wildcats became the only team to win back-to-back trips to Norman against a Bob Stoops-coached Oklahoma team.Not Ben Gamel Jersey impre sed? Kansas State can build up enough capital to earn consideration for a berth in the four-team playoff. Why? Their lo s - a 20-14 heartbreaker at home against defending SEC champion Auburn - can still be considered a "quality" lo s if it comes to a one-lo s parade, which it will. There are enough chances to stay in the light, including a home game against No. 15 Oklahoma State (Nov. 1), back-to-back trips to TCU (Nov. 8) and West Virginia (Thursday, Nov. 20)and a well-timed season finale Justin Dunn Jersey at No. 4 Baylor (Dec. 6). That last one could serve as the de facto Big 12 championship game. Wins against ranked teams add up, a resume with wins at Norman, Fort Worth,Morgantown andWaco would stack up against a Big Ten champion.Its not like the Wildcats havent been in this position before.In 2012, Kansas State, led by Collin Klein, worked its way to No. 1 in the country with a 10-0 record. It lasted a week before a 52-24 lo s to Baylor and 35-17 lo s to No. 5 Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl.Same goes in 1998, when the Michael Bishop-ledWildcats took an 11-0 record and No. 2 ranking into the Big 12 championship game before losing to No. 10 Texas A&M 36-33 in two overtimes.Waters and this team will inevitably be compared to those two teams over the next few weeks, but theres a major difference. They let four teams in now. Kansas State wont have to deal with the pre sure of a No. Jay Buhner Jersey 1 or No. 2 ranking at any point this season.All they have to do is win. Will the first four-team playoff feature the oldest coach in the FBS?Don't act like it hasn't been that kind of year.
