Kansas State should know whether it has a chance to defend its Big 12 title before kickoff against Iowa State on Saturday night. The No. 19 Wildcats are tied with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, one game back of Texas, and need the Longhorns to lose or the two Oklahoma schools to lose to have a chance. Wildcats coach Chris Klieman insists that his team is paying no attention to the situation, but it will be hard to escape some scoreboard watching. Iowa State has already qualified for a bowl game with six wins, and a seventh could improve their bowl destination.
