Bring On The Cats, a Kansas State Wildcats community

In which Alabama briefly re-enters the ranks of the RPI top 30, thus awarding K-State a second signature win for a fleeting moment.

In which roughly half of our non-conference opponents won this week ... a far cry from the near zero that won last weekend.

In which all of K-State's non-con opponents, save puny Howard, lose.

In which an improbably, inexplicable and thoroughly disgusting sweep by a traitorous former favorite son renders me incapable of saying anything else coherent about the weekend.

In which our three best non-conference opponents — Alabama, Virginia Tech, West Virginia — suffer ignominious losses.

In which Kansas and Missouri pull ahead of the pack, K-State finally gets the Stillwater monkey off its back, Virginia Tech gives Virginia a heart attack, and for other developments, further poetry I lack.

In which K-State starts to show signs of an uptick even as its best non-conference wins, Alabama and Virginia Tech, begin to show signs of rigor mortis.

In which the top three Big 12 teams begin to separate from the pack and K-State's non-con opponents continue to give the Cats no RPI help.

In which the RPIs of K-State and almost all of its non-con opponents slide downward. Furk.

In which Big 12 Conference play became two games old and Kansas State's profile began to look as good as any Frank Martin ever has had.
