MANHATTAN — Kansas State football will have one last shot at earning bowl eligibility when it hosts Colorado on Saturday, Nov. 29, in a Week 14 regular season finale.

The Wildcats and Buffaloes will kick off at 11 a.m. from Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The game will be televised on FS1.

K-State (5-6, 4-4 Big 12) had a shot at earning a bowl appearance and pulling off an upset, but came up short in a 51-47 thriller at No. 12 Utah. The good news? Colorado has struggled this season, and ESPN Analytics gives the Wildcats an 83.1% chance of beating the Buffaloes.

Deion Sanders’ team sits at 3-8 overall and 1-7 in Big 12 play. Colorado has lost six of its last seven games, losing 42-17 this past week to No. 25 Arizona State. Early betting lines as of Sunday night had the Wildcats as a 17-point favorite, according to BetMGM.
