Netflix has officially released a new documentary chronicling the remarkable 1998 season of the Kansas State Wildcats football team. This campaign is widely regarded as the program’s finest, highlighted by an 11-0 regular season record—a feat unparalleled in the program’s history.
Under the leadership of head coach Bill Snyder, the Wildcats achieved a No. 1 national ranking during the regular season, culminating in a Big 12 North Division title. However, their aspirations for a national championship were thwarted in a double-overtime loss to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Championship Game. Despite finishing the season ranked third, Kansas State was controversially left out of the inaugural Bowl Championship Series (BCS), leading to the creation of the “Kansas State Rule,” which guarantees an automatic BCS berth for the No. 3 ranked team.
The documentary delves into the team’s journey, featuring interviews with key players and coaches, and providing an in-depth look at the season’s highs and lows. It offers fans an opportunity to relive the excitement of a season that remains a pinnacle in Kansas State football history.
