Kansas @ Kansas State preview

Last Meeting ( Nov 28, 2015 ) Kansas State 45, Kansas 14

Kansas State will try to hand coach Bill Snyder a milestone victory when the Wildcats host rival Kansas on Saturday. Snyder can become this sixth FBS coach to win 200 victories at one school but he's not focused on that.

"How I put it in perspective is best said that until you brought it up, I had paid no attention to it," Snyder told the media this week. "To me, it's another number." The 77-year-old coach has a 199-105-1 record in 25 years at Kansas State and would be the 26th coach in FBS history with 200 wins. The Wildcats have won seven straight against Kansas since Snyder's return in 2009. The Jayhawks are riding the momentum of last week's overtime win against Texas, which snapped a 19-game conference losing streak.
