BYU’s perfect season was spoiled in Week 12 and their College Football Playoff fate now hangs in the balance. After a 17-13 loss to Kansas, the Cougars’ November 23 matchup with Arizona State is now a CFP eliminator.
Once one of the top stories in the sport, BYU now faces the possibility of their first losing streak all season ending their title hopes at the most inopportune of times.
“We’ve got ourselves a CFP elimination game next week in Tempe when BYU visits ASU. A sentence never before written,” The Athletic’s Stewart Mandel.
Kalani Sitake took a measured and even inspirational tone during the postgame press conference, complimenting his Cougars’ effort and giving the Jayhawks their due.
“Well, obviously disappointing result, but a lot of credit to Kansas. They had a really good game plan. And looking at the stats, just didn’t really make enough plays and made way too many mistakes for us to come up with the victory,” Sitake said in the early hours of November 17 (h/t ESPN 960’s Benjamin Criddle).
“We have a lot more to play for. This is not the end.”
The Big 12 Championship is still a direct path for the Cougars into the College Football Playoff. Colorado would likely be on the schedule if Kansas doesn’t strike again next week and/or Oklahoma State upsets the Buffs in Week 14.
Of course, the alternative is suddenly the sickening feeling Provo, Utah must collectively feel right now after such a downer of a loss against a six-loss team.
The Kansas Jayhawks, led by quarterback Jalon Daniels, face the No. 6 BYU Cougars, led by quarterback Jake Retzlaff on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024 (11/16/24) at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?
BYU can clinch a spot in the Big 12 Championship game with two victories in its next three games. Only Colorado is within a game of the Cougars in the league standings. Kansas is looking to win games against ranked opponents in back-to-back weeks for the first time in school history.
KEY MATCHUP
BYU’s defense has a penchant for getting burned by chunk plays on the ground. Running the ball is an offensive strength for Kansas, which churns out 213.6 yards rushing per game. Both Jalon Daniels and Devin Neal can get to the second level and put the Cougars on their heels. On the other side, Jake Retzlaff can exploit a mediocre Kansas pass defense allowing 282.7 yards per game through the air against Big 12 opponents.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Kansas: Neal broke Kansas’ all-time records for career rushing yards and career rushing touchdowns in the Jayhawks’ 45-36 win over Iowa State after rushing for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Neal has 3,951 career rushing yards to go with 43 career rushing TDs and will likely surpass the 4,000-yard plateau on Saturday.
BYU: Retzlaff had a rough outing in the Cougars’ 22-21 win over Utah. Retzlaff had his fifth straight 200-yard game after throwing for 219 yards, but he also completed a season-low 45.5% of his passes. BYU has won by double digits in five of the six games where he’s had a completion percentage of 56% or better.
FACTS & FIGURES

No. 6 BYU football is one of the top storylines of the 2024 college football season. The Cougars, despite a 9-0 start, are being doubted by the oddsmakers. BYU is favored by just three points over a Kansas team that is 3-6 coming into this game. The College GameDay crew made their picks for BYU-Kansas on Saturday morning. Here are their picks along with commentary.
Desmond Howard: BYU
“I like BYU a lot. I think they’re a gritty team. They’re well coached. They’ll find a way to win again. Go Cougars.”
Nick Saban: BYU
“I got BYU too, but I’m a little apprehensive because if you’re a basketball team and you’re trying to win every game on the last possession, which they won three, eventually it’s going to blow up on you.”
Pat McAfee: BYU
“There could be a destiny thing though [with BYU]. And especially with the relationships that are brewing over there. You know, the quarterback, they call him the BYJew Jake Retzlaff. He is beloved over there with his rabbi is out there with the Mormons. I think they’re more together than they’ve ever been. Give me the BYU.”
Cody Rhodes (Celebrity Picker): Kansas
Lee Corso: BYU
“Not so fast, handsome gentleman. BYU.”
Kirk Herbstreit: Kansas
“I’m going with Cody. This is a classic somebody knows something game. The 9-0 team against 3-6 three and six and they are a three-point favorite. Stanford Steve talked about it earlier. I agree with him. Jalon Daniels has so much ability. [Daniels had a] slow start, but the last four weeks: 12 touchdowns. I think Kansas can go off and pull off the upset. Kansas may be getting right.”
