It's almost certain that the Kansas Jayhawks aren't going to contend for the National Championship, but fans are craving a season that is miles better than last year's 5-7 overall record.
Unfortunately, professionals in the world of college football don't have high hopes for the Jayhawks. Recently, the USA Today sports writers released their Big 12 preseason poll, and Kansas found itself in ninth place. Not great for a 16-team conference.
Last year, the Jayhawks finished 10th in the Big 12, so the ninth-place projection is, quite literally, just one step better from last season's outcome.
