2025 Kansas State Wildcats CFB Betting Lines
Head coach Chris Klieman continues to prove that he is the perfect choice to replace the legendary program's greatest of all time, Bill Snyder. Klieman took over in 2019 and has led the team to five bowl games in six years, including a Big 12 championship. Last year, Kansas State finished 9-4 with a win in the Rate Bowl. The 2024 season brought numerous changes, including a new offensive coordinator and a new starting quarterback. But that is a testament to Klieman’s success. He was glad to let QB Will Howard transfer to Ohio State, knowing that Avery Johnson would be even better. Kansas State is a leading contender to win the 2025 Big 12 championship.
Given that K-State has upgraded at quarterback with rising star Avery Johnson ready to step into the spotlight and boasts skill-position talent, the Wildcats could be a dangerous team. If the offensive line holds up, they should be able to pair an effective offense with an experienced defense and challenge for a second Big 12 title in four years under coach Chris Klieman.

2025 Kansas State Wildcats Preview
The Wildcats are likely to be unhappy with their 2025 schedule. Cincinnati, Houston, UCF, and West Virginia will improve, but all four struggled last year, and all four must prove they can get up to speed and be factors. You’d rather play those four among the Big 12 teams than not. However, missing Arizona State and BYU might make up for it.
On the positive, throw in the date in Dublin against Iowa State, and there's only one true road game in September and just two until the end of October. Additionally, four of the five road games are against teams that didn't qualify for the bowl last year, and the fifth team is Baylor. Thanks to that Ireland game, three open dates are well spread out.
However, offsetting that is the fact that those four road games against teams that didn't qualify for the bowl are all going to be way better. The back-to-back road games against Oklahoma State and Utah will be a struggle, and that date against Iowa State is hardly a tap-in.
Beating Iowa State to kick things off is a big deal. If it handles North Dakota and Army and gets to 2-0 in the Big 12 with a key win over Arizona, it will stay unbeaten going into the off week. With a win over UCF and a tough victory over Baylor, the ranking keeps on rising as the wins keep on piling up. There's a loss between Oklahoma State and Utah, but it's not enough to keep it out of the Big 12 Championship.
On the other hand, a loss to Iowa State puts the pressure on from the start. After dropping the date in Arizona, it's a struggle to get back on track as the team powers through. Getting bowl-eligible isn't a problem, but a loss to either Oklahoma State or Utah ends any Big 12 title chance.
Kansas State gets right back into the Big 12 Championship discussion with a win over Iowa State, pushing for a College Football Playoff spot. It'll lose two games along the way - those road games really will be tricky - but it'll still find a way to play for the conference title.

In November 1988, the Kansas State Wildcats finished their second consecutive winless season. Sports Illustrated labeled Kansas State as the worst program in college football. Many observers said the program should be shut down. There was no hope for a program with the worst record in college football history. Following that lost season, K-State threw a Hail Mary. The Wildcats hired Iowa offensive coordinator Bill Snyder to save the program. Not only did Snyder save the K-State football program, but he also built a sustained national power.
Bill Snyder pulled off the Manhattan Miracle with tireless work and a relentless demand for perfection. Snyder did the impossible. In fact, he did so well that the famed Oklahoma Sooners Hall of Fame coach Barry Switzer called him “The Coach of the Century.”
Chris Klieman has continued Snyder's success. Klieman posted five bowl berths in his first six seasons. Most importantly, Klieman led the Wildcats to the 2022 Big 12 championship.
