Kansas State finished the regular season with an 8-4 record, and a 4th place finish in the Big 12 (6-3 in conference play). The Wildcats didn’t finish in the AP Top-25, but did finish 29th. They did spend 6 weeks in the AP Poll, ranked as high as 15th.

There will be much more to come previewing the Pop-Tarts Bowl and the Wolfpack’s opponent.

Everyone needs to toast a pair of brown sugar Pop-Tarts tonight with a cold glass of milk in honor of NC State being in the inaugural Pop-Tarts Bowl.
