The coaches are higher on Kansas State than the media.

Kansas State found its way back in the US LBM Coaches Poll, earning the No. 25 spot. Just above them was rivals Kansas. Texas (No. 5) and Oklahoma (No. 14) were the other Big 12 teams in the poll.

The entire Week 4 Coaches Poll is as follows:

1. Georgia

2. Michigan

3. Ohio State

4. Florida State

5. Texas

6. USC

7. Penn State

8. Washington

9. Oregon

10. Utah

11. Alabama

12. LSU

13. Notre Dame

14. Oklahoma

15. North Carolina

16. Duke

17. Washington State

18. Miami

19. Tennessee

20. Ole Miss

21. Oregon State

22. Missouri

23. Florida

24. Kansas

25. Kansas State

Despite being ranked in the Coaches Poll, the media felt worse about the Wildcats.

AP's Top 25 poll does not include Kansas State, who sit at No. 26 and receiving votes. The Wildcats totaled 57 votes, just seven votes away from Fresno State, who are No. 25.

Kansas State's exclusion is a surprise, as the Wildcats cruised to victory over an undefeated UCF. It appears the media is still hesitant about Kansas State after their three-point loss to No. 23 Missouri.
