Which Kansas School Could Surprise?

The Wildcats have a real shot at capturing the program’s second straight Big 12 title in 2023, coming on the heels of last year’s 31-28 upset of TCU in the title game.

Kansas State enters the year with a preseason win total over/under (courtesy of BetMGM Kansas) of 8, with the over listed at -125 and the under at +105.

KSU opens the year with non-conference contests against Southeast Missouri on Sept. 2 before playing Troy a week later. The Wildcats cap off the non-conference with a border showdown against Missouri in Columbia on Sept. 16.

Over in Lawrence, Leipold and company play Missouri State and Illinois at home, before heading to Reno to face Nevada in the team’s final non-conference contest.

Both Kansas Big 12 programs will look to build on the success they experienced last fall, with hopes of toppling Texas and bringing another conference title back to the Sunflower State.
