The Kansas Jayhawks are not entering the upcoming season with expectations as high as they were the year prior due to a relatively disappointing 2024 campaign for Lance Leipold and Co.
But with Jalon Daniels finishing out his collegiate career in Lawrence and a handful of key moves made in the offseason, KU still has a chance to compete for a top spot in the Big 12.
The conference is wide open for anyone to take in 2025. According to the New York Post, the Jayhawks were given the sixth-best chance to win the Big 12 Championship, via bet365 odds.

Kansas State and Arizona State are the co-favorites to win the conference, which is not too surprising.
The Wildcats are banking on the development of quarterback Avery Johnson and some transfer portal additions, while the reigning champion Sun Devils returned key pieces from last year's College Football Playoff roster.
It will be an uphill battle for Kansas to reclaim its title as a Big 12 contender, but the Jayhawks' roster is more than capable of taking the league by storm in 2025.
