Rankings from AP Poll

Kansas State's record was 1–7–1 at the end of the season, including a 6–6 tie with Nebraska and a 14–12 victory over Missouri. However, when head coach Bill Meek learned after the season that an ineligible player had participated, he immediately self-reported the violation to the NCAA and the school voluntarily forfeited the win and the tie.
