LAWRENCE, KS – NOVEMBER 18: Quarterback Baker Mayfield /

No. 10 Kansas Jayhawks (1-11, 0-9)

The Jayhawks have won one Big 12 game in the last three seasons and are just 3-33 overall over that time. Kansas has not had a winning season since 2008, when former Oklahoma offensive coordinator Mark Mangino was the head coach.

Kansas will continue to be the doormat of the Big 12 until they produce an offense that can compete against some of the country’s most prolific, high-scoring offenses that exist in the same conference. The Jayhawks allowed 43.4 points a game last season, and that is not going to win many, if any, games.

The trouble on offense starts and ends at the quarterback spot, where Kansas has not had a quality signal caller since Todd Reesing departed after the 2009 season.

Head coach David Beaty is definitely on the hot seat and may be gone if he is not able to win at least four or five games this season, which would be an absolute miracle if it were to occur.
