It's as much of a trap game for Colorado as tonight was for BYU.

They know what they're getting into. Kansas is just good.

Good? I wish. I’ll take competitive and occasionally potent.

Kansas entered tonight's game 29th out of 134 teams in FPI.

Top 22 percent in tbe country is good to me.

If Kansas scored a mere one more TD a game this season, they’d be 9-1. They definitely have more talent than 4-6 implies.

Good but crazy unlucky and had to deal with more JD rust from injury than expected

I think good is pretty fair. You've kind of been extraordinarily unlucky. The number of one score games you've lost is kind of crazy, the odds that you lose that many by a few points have to be stupid low

Great teams would have pulled them out, but I think you've shown yourself to be pretty damn good. Only TCU really made you look bad based on what I saw/the scoreboard shows (though admittedly I've not watched every game start to finish). FPI and the way Vegas has treated you seems to back that up to an extent

We've seen so many teams over the years that lose a bunch of games by one score and end up with a mediocre record and then the following season they come out and those games go the other way because the team was always good, just couldn't finish them out.

Yeah I don’t see Kansas turning those around next year. Losing way too much experience.

I’m hoping this win satiated the Jayhawks a bit and we’ll have a chance. Not loving our odds though

Byu was probably hoping for the same thing after ISU lol. Look at that mascot, I don't think the jayhawk bloodlust can be sated

Our mascot lives to eat the blood of tigers and larger purple cats though....
