UPDATE: Kansas State is set to face Colorado on November 29, 2025, at 11 a.m. CT, in a crucial game that could secure the Wildcats’ bowl eligibility. With a record of 5-6, K-State is heavily favored by 17.5 points and is determined to clinch a win.
The Wildcats are driven by a strong motivation: achieving bowl eligibility for the first time since 2014 and aiming for a record of four consecutive winning seasons in the Big 12. A victory over the struggling Buffaloes would solidify their conference standing at 5-4.
“Winning on Senior Day is crucial,” said K-State head coach Chris Klieman. “It creates lasting memories for our players.”
Last week, Kansas State suffered a heartbreaking loss to 13th-ranked Utah, falling 51-47 after a strong second-half performance by the Utes. The Wildcats hope to rebound against Colorado, who comes into this matchup with a 3-8 record, having lost six of their last seven games.
Colorado, under the leadership of head coach Deion Sanders, is making a quarterback switch to Kaidon Salter, who will start after not playing in the last two games. Salter has thrown for 1,242 yards this season, with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions. Despite the Buffaloes’ struggles, they are looking to end the season on a high note.
The emotional stakes are high for both teams; Kansas State is aiming for a sense of closure and accomplishment, while Colorado seeks redemption in their final game of a challenging season. K-State’s sophomore running back, who set a school record with 293 rushing yards against Utah, is expected to lead the offensive charge once again.
As both teams prepare for this pivotal showdown, the urgency is palpable. Fans are eager to see if Kansas State can overcome the odds and secure a place in the postseason, while Colorado aims to disrupt their rivals’ plans.
Expect an intense atmosphere at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium as Kansas State looks to capitalize on their home-field advantage and solidify their postseason aspirations. This game promises to be a memorable conclusion to the season for both squads.
