NC State and Kansas State will face off again after their meeting in the Pop Tarts Bowl to close last season. The schools have finalized a home-and-home series starting in Raleigh in 2027 and moving to the Little Apple in 2032.
I appreciate that NC State is scheduling teams it hasn’t faced often (if at all), as the bowl game marked the first-ever matchup between the Wolfpack and Wildcats. To my knowledge, NC State has never played a game in Kansas (please correct me if I’m mistaken). While they have faced KU a few times, those matches were exclusively in bowl games.
NC State’s 2027 schedule will also feature a return trip to Texas Tech, leading me to wonder if that game is now at risk of being canceled. If they retain it (which I believe they should), they’ll still need to add one more non-conference game that season, likely a home game against a weaker Group-of-5 opponent.
