(head-to-head). If K-State keeps winning, we continue to have a win over a ranked team on our resume.
Meanwhile, ASU can still pass us in the Big 12 if they win out and we lose to Kansas or Houston, and they would own the tiebreaker over us in that scenario. If we beat ASU, it won’t be a win over a ranked opponent by season’s end, regardless of whether they win or lose at K-State.
