Kansas State managed to accomplish something this season no Big 12 team has done since before West Virginia and TCU joined, and I’ll let you decide whether it’s good or bad. The ‘Cats managed to lose three conference games at home and still finish with a winning record, which shows you just how difficult it generally is to win on the road in this league.
Oddly, two teams pulled it off in 2011-12, the first year of round-robin scheduling before Missouri and Texas A&M left for the SEC. One of those teams was Kansas State, who was also 10-8 with a 6-3 home record, and Baylor improbably went 12-6 by winning 6 of 9 games both home and away (K-State won in Waco and lost to the Bears in Manhattan).
