In a stunning upset, the Kansas Jayhawks defeated the No. 16 Colorado Buffaloes 37-21 at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas, with a losing record, became the first team in FBS history to win three consecutive games against ranked opponents. The Jayhawks were led by a dominant performance from running back Devin Neal, who rushed for 165 yards and scored four touchdowns. Despite a valiant effort from Colorado's Travis Hunter, who scored twice and bolstered his Heisman Trophy campaign, the Buffaloes' defense struggled, allowing Kansas to score on all seven of its possessions. Kansas outgained Colorado 477-247 in total yardage, with 259 yards on the ground. Shedeur Sanders set a new Division I record by completing a touchdown pass in 47 consecutive games. This victory has significant implications for the Big 12 race and Colorado's College Football Playoff hopes, especially as Colorado was favored by -3 points.
