I would say more K-State.

I see Nebraska similarities in fan base and living in the past. However, Nebraska has had greater success and actually played a quite difficult non-con last year.

KSU has 1 top-10 finish the past 15 years. Same with Okie St. Iowa has 5. Not close. I'd say Iowa leans OU, maybe with a dash of Texas since they've had up and down years lately.

OU has played in 9 BCS games, including 1 NC, and has been to the CFB Playoffs in the last 15 years. Texas has been to 4 BCS games, 2 of which were a NC, and they won one of those. So yeah, not even close.

Leaning OU would require making the CFP. Downsides of Texas is accurate, though. Strong and Ferentz have both shown the recent ability to collapse against ISU, so there's that.

I don't, Nebby fan lives in the past but at least it's a factual past based in actual achievement.

They'd LIKE to be OU or Texas

They are most similar to K-State in that they have a similar style of play and they've had some success, but not near enough to be considered a power every year.

Kansas. Both teams have chickens for logos and play in half-empty stadiums. Both fanbases are chock full of delusional jerks with a penchant for stealing cheers from other teams. The only thing a Gator Chomp should be doing in Iowa is clamping down on a tasty meal of hawkeye.

K-State, which shouldn't be a huge surprise as both Snyder and Ferentz were big Fry guys.
