Nov. 08--TV: 6:30 p.m. Saturday; Fox-32.
Line: TCU by 6.
Records: Kansas State 7-1, 5-0 Big 12; TCU 7-1, 4-1.
Last meeting: Kansas State won 33-31 on Nov. 16, 2013, in Manhattan.
On the offensive: TCU dropped 82 points on Texas Tech two weeks ago thanks to Trevone Boykin's seven touchdown passes. A former receiver, Boykin also has rushed for 423 yards this season with four touchdowns.
Getting defensive: The erratic TCU defense has to deal with Jake Waters, a typically efficient (11 touchdowns, three interceptions) K-State quarterback. TCU has forced a national-best 26 turnovers, including 15 picks.
The number: 27.8. No team has been penalized fewer than K-State's 27.8 yards per game.
The talk: With no Big 12 title game, the winner will be the league's best hope for the College Football Playoff.
Teddy Greenstein's pick: Go with the high-flying Horned Frogs over the steady Wildcats.
TCU 34, Kansas State 31.
