With Duke touring to Lawrence in two weeks, this will probably be a very good alternative to determine whether or not Jayhawk followers want to fret. Whereas not fairly as spectacular because the Jayhawks of their debut, Duke seemed like a a lot improved group from final season. However the identical questions on high quality of opponent apply to Duke, so this can give followers a chance to see how effectively the Blue Devils stand as much as a reliable group.

Why Jayhawk followers ought to watch:

With Kansas taking part in each of those groups within the coming weeks, it’s a good probability to get a sneak peek at what the Jayhawks will probably be up in opposition to. Houston struggled with UTSA final week, needing some pleasant clock shenanigans and a number of overtimes to beat the Roadrunners at residence. Texas Tech completely seemed the a part of a very good group, however it was the primary sport for head coach Joey McGuire in opposition to a severely overmatched foe.

I may offer you some spiel about convention delight or another sappy approach to persuade you to observe, however it’s actually a couple of good sport that has a variety of intrigue from final week. Iowa gained one of the vital weird video games I’ve seen in a very long time, and Iowa State appears primed to lastly beat the Hawkeyes. But when they do not determine it out this yr, will they ever?

Honorable Point out: Tennessee at Pittsburgh

Sport Time: Saturday, Sept tenth at 6:30pm
TV Channel: ESPN2
Stay Stream: fuboTV (Begin your free trial)
Line: OSU -11.5

Why Jayhawk followers ought to watch:

This is not actually concerning the high quality of this matchup. That is rather more about not desirous to suggest an early season SEC matchup that will not be all that aggressive regardless of that includes two ranked groups. However Oklahoma State obtained off to an awesome begin final week earlier than letting Central Michigan again into the sport. They can not afford the identical mistake in opposition to Arizona State in the event that they anticipate to win.

Honorable Point out: Kentucky at Florida

Sat Late Night time

This has all of the appears of the very best sport on the complete Saturday slate, and it is an early preview of what Massive 12 After Darkish may appear to be within the close to future. These groups are about as evenly matched at this level within the season as you might be, and BYU is trying to avenge a moderately embarrassing loss in Waco final season. If you’ll be able to look ahead to all of this one, then you definitely should not be upset.

Honorable Point out: Mississippi State at Arizona
