Kansas Jayhawks at Memphis Tigers (Saturday/12:00 pm)

Last season Memphis annihilated Kansas 55-23, and after the Jayhawks fell last weekend to Ohio we are likely to see more of the same in 2016 from the matchup between these two schools. As such it might be hard to call this a true upset, though a win over any Power Five team provides a boost for mid-majors.

The Tigers offense isn’t quite as prolific as it was when Paxton Lynch was leading the show under center last year, but Memphis fields a strong defense that has held its first two opponents to 253 yards and 17 points per game. Despite losing head coach Justin Fuente to Virginia Tech, Memphis should get another win over Kansas.
