Kansas: 2026 Week 11 recap

Kansas sits at 3–5 with a rating of 2.8, unchanged after last week's 22–16 road loss to TCU in Week 9. The Jayhawks remain firmly outside playoff contention, and their situational metrics paint a picture of offensive struggle: a 22% red-zone touchdown rate and 41% third-down conversion rate suggest they're leaving points on the field in critical moments. With an expected win total of 4.3, Kansas is tracking toward another difficult season. Up next is a home matchup against UCF in Week 10—a chance to build momentum, though GIE currently projects zero playoff probability for the program.
