After some promising performances through the first half of the season, the Kansas Jayhawks find themselves in a familiar place as arguably the worst team in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports ranks the bottom 25 teams and after a brief stint as the second-worst team in the country, Kansas reclaims the “top spot.”
Earlier this week, it finally got cool enough to put my fur-lined slippers back on. The sensation of sliding my feet into that soft, fluffy warmth was not much different than seeing Kansas at No. 1 yet again. Hello, old friend. Welcome back. Something tells me that the Jayhawks could be the first team to stay at No. 1, considering they’ve got Oklahoma this week and Oklahoma State the week after. But maybe, just maybe… (2) – Fornelli
There have been times this season where the Kansas Jayhawks have shown signs of life. They’ve gotten games close before the blowouts set in. They held Baylor to just 14 first-half points. The Jayhawks were leading the Duke Blue Devils in the third quarter before the game got away from them. They were within six of the previously undefeated Coastal Carolina Chanticleers before succumbing to a strong second-half effort from Coastal.
Head Coach Lance Leipold has made progress and they’re playing better football, but this is a team that still has some growing to do. They don’t have a Pooka Williams on this year’s squad to make life difficult for the Sooners’ defense.
The Jayhawks will come out playing hard, but that effort won’t be enough to make this much of a game on Saturday as the Sooners likely roll on to a blowout victory.
