I don't think that K-State is a challenge to win the national championship this year, nor did I think last year. One thing I will assure you, they will be better as the year goes on. I am not sure the rest of the Big-12 will be! I don't think the top of the league in the SEC, is as strong as last year. PAC-10 seems good on top, as does the ACC. The BIG Rusty, without Ohio State would lose a nerd wrestling contest with the Big-12.
