No. 10 Kansas Jayhawks

Jayhawks’ fans knew it was coming, but it’s hard to give Kansas a ranking higher based off a 55-6 win against an FCS opponent that won just one game in 2015.

While it’s hard to see how this win materializes into conference wins, it did snap the Jayhawks’ 15-game losing streak, which should do a number on overall team morale. For David Beaty’s team, this win brought a little confidence to the program, and even though Kansas’ fans stormed the field, nobody should be hating on them having a little fun.

Next Game: 

Sat, Sep 10 Kansas vs. Ohio Lawrence, Kan. 1:30 p.m.
