Kansas State's clear run to BCS title game blocked

For coach Bill Snyder and Kansas State, there

was a clear path to the BCS championship game and a likely Heisman

Trophy for quarterback Collin Klein.

That all changed after an unexpected blitzkrieg by Baylor. Those

are the same Bears (5-5) that a season after Robert Griffin III are

still trying to get bowl eligible and had the nation's worst-ranked

defense.

A week after taking over the top spot in the BCS rankings, and

getting so close to a chance to play for their first national

championship, the Wildcats (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) lost 52-24 at Baylor.

K-State tumbled five spots to seventh in the latest Associated

Press poll Sunday. The new Bowl Championship Series standings come

out later that night.
