On Saturday, the Kansas Jayhawks stormed into Provo and pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season, beating No. 6 BYU on home turf.

Kansas’ victory not only gave them a reason to celebrate; it sent shockwaves through the college football world and shook the picture of the playoffs in a way no one saw coming.

This is why everyone is so excited about Kansas’ big win.

With BYU out of the way, their spot at the top is now wide open. Notre Dame will likely jump to No. 6 and take BYU’s spot, and teams like Colorado — who just dominated Utah — are suddenly looking at a path to the Big 12 title and perhaps even a spot in the playoffs.

Imagine Deion Sanders, “Coach Prime,” in the playoff mix? That would be electric.

Kansas’ win is a perfect reminder of why college football is so unpredictable.

BYU looked primed for a serious playoff push, but the Jayhawks came in with a game plan that kept the Cougars off balance. Jalon Daniels led Kansas with poise, and their defense delivered success when it mattered most. These types of setbacks remind top teams that no victory is guaranteed, especially this late in the season.

For Kansas, this game shows that despite some struggles this season, they are still a program on the rise, capable of competing with the big names and changing the conversation.

With BYU likely to drop down the rankings, teams like SMU and Boise State now have a chance to rise and make their mark.

Programs often overlooked by the playoff committee suddenly have a real chance to crack the rankings and earn a chance to play in a playoff game.

For fans of underdog teams, Kansas’ win represents a beacon of hope – a reminder that sometimes the underdogs get their chance.

Maybe, just maybe, the Jayhawks will find themselves in that position soon.
