What would have felt unattainable a few weeks ago is now possible as the Kansas Jayhawks are a win away from bowl eligibility after starting 2-6. Standing in KU’s way is a Baylor team on a similar trajectory.

The Kansas Jayhawks football team will look to continue its winning streak and clinch a bowl berth with a win against Baylor on Saturday at McLane Stadium. The Jayhawks (5-6, 4-4 Big 12) have beaten three straight ranked opponents over the past three weeks: Iowa State, BYU and Colorado.

After years in the wilderness, the Jayhawks could be looking at consecutive bowl games and potentially a date in Birmingham, Frisco, or even Phoenix for their second straight Guaranteed Rate Bowl. For now, though, the focus is simple: Beat Baylor, make history, and extend the season.

Kansas needs to win Saturday at Baylor, which has beaten the Jayhawks 13 consecutive times, to gain bowl eligibility. KU has never played in a bowl game in three consecutive seasons.
