Kansas State's Joe Bob Clements bows his head in the middle of the field after his team lost 36-33 in overtime to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Championship in St. Louis, Mo. In 1998, the Wildcats rolled to an 11-0 record and won the Big 12 North, and had a big fourth-quarter lead on Texas A&M in the conference title game. They were that close to playing for a national championship, but the Aggies staged a dramatic comeback and won in overtime.

About this Article

The college football landscape has changed dramatically since 1998. One thing that hasn't changed is Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, and that's a good reason why the second-ranked Wildcats look strikingly similar to the team he had in 98. "He was really all about accountability and being consistent and being able to play at your highest potential," said wide receiver Aaron Lockett, who was a freshman on that team.
