After watching the Big 12 get shut out of the inaugural College Football Playoff, due in large part to a lack of strength of schedule among its contenders, the Kansas State Wildcats have made an adjustment and added home-and-home series with two SEC schools in the coming years.
According to ESPN’s Brett McMurphy, K-State has added the Vanderbilt Commodores to its non-conference schedule in 2017 and 2020 in addition to adding Mississippi State to its 2018-19 schedules.

It has yet to be announced which years the Wildcats will play host and which years it will travel to play in the heart of SEC country.
For what it’s worth, Kansas State does not have a power conference opponent on its non-conference schedule in 2015 or 2016, but the Wildcats did host the Auburn Tigers in a non-conference showdown last season. Auburn escaped with a 20-14 victory in Manhattan, Kan.
