“It’s extremely disappointing,” Kansas coach Lance Leipold said in his postgame news conference in Waco. Kansas entered the season with Big 12 title and College Football Playoff aspirations. Instead, the Jayhawks began the year 1-5 and then 2-6. Saturday’s 45-17 loss to Baylor ended their season at 5-7 (4-5 Big 12).

The Kansas Jayhawks began the season with Big 12 title and College Football Playoff aspirations. Instead, a disappointing start put them in a hole, and a beatdown on Saturday officially ended their chances at bowl contention.

With the win, Baylor ended the regular season on a 6-game winning streak, the longest since their 2021 season.
