22. Kansas State
Coach:
Ron Prince enters his third season.
Last season:
5-7, with four straight losses down the stretch.
Studs:
Quarterback Josh Freeman was the bright spot of 2007. He threw for a K-State-record 3,353 yards and 18 touchdowns. Prince would like to see his offense tilt back toward the running game, but some junior-college transfers will have to pan out for that to happen. The defense will also depend on an influx of transfers, two of whom were junior-college All-American linebackers. Defensive end Ian Campbell gives opposing quarterbacks headaches.
Scoop:
The North Division of the Big 12 is no longer Nebraska and Colorado and everyone else. K-State, Kansas and Missouri are now all legitimate football powers. The key for the Wildcats will be how well their redshirts and junior-college transfers blend with the returning veterans.
Prediction:
8-4
