9. Kansas Jayhawks (Record: 1-8)

Despite a 21-48 loss against No. 20 West Virginia, you almost want to be proud of Kansas for for the point differential not being greater. Kansas was handed its 40th straight road loss against a very good team, and even though it was shut out in the first half, they mounted a pretty solid second-half performance.

Replacing starter Montell Cozart, quarterback Carter Stanley threw for 127 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against West Virginia, including a 45 yard pass to Taylor Martin for the 6. The Jayhawks were able to assemble four, second-half scoring drives, proving that whatever the second-half adjustments were, paid off.

Cozart was taken out of the game in the second-half after taking a hit, and is currently in concussion protocol. With that said, it could be a long week of speculation for Kansas as it prepares for Iowa State on Saturday. With David Beaty looking for a second win this season against a Cyclones team that can be scary at times, at least Stanley proved himself as an excellent option.
