The Kansas Jayhawks ended the 2024 season with some momentum, beating three ranked Big 12 teams in the last four weeks of the season.
Will that momentum carry over this season?
How many wins will the Kansas football team get in 2025?
Here’s an early game-by-game win-loss prediction for the Jayhawks for their 2025 schedule, beginning with a home game against Fresno State on Aug. 23 and concluding with a home matchup against Utah on Nov. 29.
The Jayhawks will also host Wagner, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Kansas State and Oklahoma State this season. They will play at Missouri, UCF, Texas Tech, Arizona and Iowa State, looking to improve on their 5-7 overall record and 4-5 Big 12 record in 2024.
College football championship odds: Big 12 | Big Ten | SEC | ACC | National title | Heisman Trophy odds
Aug. 23: Fresno State at Kansas
The Bulldogs went 6-7 last season. You can bet the Jayhawks won’t take them lightly after losing to UNLV last season, 23-20.
Game prediction: Kansas 27, Fresno State 17
Kansas record prediction: 1-0
Aug. 30: Wagner at Kansas
Wagner, an FCS school, went 4-8 last season. If Kansas can’t defeat it soundly in 2025 the Jayhawks could be in for a long season.
Game prediction: Kansas 30, Wagner 13
Kansas record prediction: 2-0
Sept. 6: Kansas at Missouri
The good news for Kansas? This isn’t a conference game. Missouri is coming off a 10-3 season and went 7-0 at home in 2024.
Game prediction: Missouri 20, Kansas 13
Kansas record prediction: 2-1
Sept. 20: West Virginia at Kansas
The Jayhawks lost to West Virginia in their first Big 12 game of last season, 32-28. But that game was in Morgantown. Kansas will start Big 12 play with a win.
Game prediction: Kansas 31, West Virginia 21
Kansas record prediction: 3-1 (1-0 Big 12)
Sept. 27: Cincinnati at Kansas
Will the Bearcats be able to stop the Jayhawks? Will they be able to put up enough points to stay with Kansas? We have doubts.
Game prediction: Kansas 38, Cincinnati 20
Kansas record prediction: 4-1 (2-0 Big 12)
Oct. 4: Kansas at UCF
The Jayhawks were just 1-5 away from home last season. Those road woes will return in a loss at UCF.
Game prediction: UCF 27, Kansas 24
Kansas record prediction: 4-2 (2-1 Big 12)
Oct. 11: Kansas at Texas Tech
After falling at UCF, Kansas has the unenviable task of trying to beat Texas Tech in Lubbock. Easier said than done.
Game prediction: Texas Tech 38, Kansas 27
Kansas record prediction: 4-3 (2-2 Big 12)
Oct. 25: Kansas State at Kansas
Kansas State got the better of Kansas last season in Manhattan, Kansas, 29-27. Something tells us that the tables will turn in Lawrence, Kansas in 2025.
Game prediction: Kansas 30, Kansas State 27
Kansas record prediction: 5-3 (3-2 Big 12)
Nov. 1: Oklahoma State at Kansas
Kansas can’t afford a setback against the Cowboys at home if it wants to stay in the Big 12 title picture.
Game prediction: Kansas 38, Oklahoma State 27
Kansas record prediction: 6-3 (4-2 Big 12)
Nov. 8: Kansas at Arizona
The Jayhawks break through in Tucson for their first Big 12 road win of the season. It couldn’t come at a better time.
Game prediction: Kansas 38, Arizona 28
Kansas record prediction: 7-3 (5-2 Big 12)
Nov. 22: Kansas at Iowa State
There could be some big games in the Big 12 this week and this one certainly could fit the bill, with both the Jayhawks and Cyclones hoping to still be in Big 12 championship game contention.
Game prediction: Kansas 31, Iowa State 27
Kansas record prediction: 8-3 (6-2 Big 12)
Nov. 29: Utah at Kansas
Utah will be a lot better this season, but the Jayhawks will have a lot on the line in this regular-season finale at home. They’ll end the regular season with a five-game winning streak and await their postseason fate.
Game prediction: Kansas 30, Utah 21
Kansas record prediction: 9-3 (7-2 Big 12)

Four people pronounced dead after a two vehicle crash on a Kansas Highway in Dickinson County
Salina Post
DICKINSON COUNTY – Four people were pronounced dead, after a two-vehicle head-on crash occurred on a Kansas highway in Dickinson County.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) at around 3:00 pm on Saturday, May 24th, Dickinson County contacted KHP to respond to an accident that happened on the K-4 highway at Mile Marker 217 (west of Dickinson Co. on K-4).
Reportedly, a two-vehicle head-on crash occurred where it was reported that 4 people died on the scene. KHP reports, multiple people were severely injured with a number of occupants being transported to Salina Regional Health Center.
Medical helicopters arrived on the scene to transport one person involved in the crash to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita.
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is currently on scene assisting with traffic, as the roadways are closed in the area. It is not determined when the roadways will reopen.
The investigation is still ongoing and any updates the Salina Post receives will be posted.
Sometimes one team simply has another team’s number. That’s the case for Kansas when it comes to TCU.
The Horned Frogs swept the Jayhawks in a three-game set during the regular season back in April, and demolished Kansas, 11-1, on Friday in the Big 12 Tournament Semifinals.
Kansas took an early 1-0 lead in the first, but TCU quickly countered with four runs in the second and never looked back after that. TCU added another run in the fifth and blew the game open with a six-run eighth.
The good news for Kansas is that it should have no problem making the NCAA Tournament.
The Jayhawks resume is more than impressive, currently ranked No. 25 in the nation, going 43-15 overall, and with a Big 12-best 20 win during conference play. Not to mention the Jayhawks won nine straight in April and eight in a row on two separate occasions.
Friday’s loss is still disappointing, but Kansas can still make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
The Jayhawks offense is one of the best in the nation, and the bullpen — excluding Friday’s performance — has been fantastic in May. Tune into ESPN 2 on Monday at 11 a.m. (CT), when the NCAA releases the field of 64.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Heads up parents, Kansas City is reinstating its annual summer curfew for teens, starting today.
The ordinance is aimed at keeping kids and teens safe and reducing violence at some of the city’s busiest areas.

“I am a mom of three teenagers right now. I have one adult son in his freshman year in college, and among their peers, I see that there’s always a need for something to do,” said Di’Anna Saffold founder of Village KC.
Saffold started the organization targeting teens around the city by providing them with after school activities to get involved.
“Just things to keep them active and busy, but safe things and safe places for them to do,” said Saffold.
The summer curfew was started back in 2011 and has continued to be enforced at five of the city’s entertainment districts including, the Central Business District, Westport, Country Club Plaza, 18th and Vine, and Zona Rosa.
The curfew applies to anyone under the age of 18 after 9:00 p.m. at the five entertainment districts.
But, youth ages 15 and younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian after 10 p.m. citywide. Youth aged 16 and 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian after 11 p.m. citywide.
“I think that it’s sad that we’ve come to this place, and we’ve gotten here in multiple ways. I think it’s very easy to blame parents. I think it’s very easy to blame the teens. But I think there’s also a greater call on the community as well as the city to have more opportunities for students to enjoy themselves, have fun, learn some things and be safe,” said Saffold.
Violations of the curfew could result in in detention of the minor and fines up to $500 for parents.
The Mayor’s office has announced the Mayor’s Night Hoops is returning. Kicking off the first event on June 7.
