American college football season
The 2024 Kansas Jayhawks football team represented the University of Kansas in the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season . It was the Jayhawks' 135th season. Due to construction on David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium , the Jayhawks played their non-conference home games at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas and their conference home games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri . They were led by fourth-year head coach Lance Leipold . The Jayhawks looked to win a bowl game in back–to–back seasons for only the second time in program history, and to qualify for a bowl game for a third straight season for the first time in program history.
The Jayhawks also started the year ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time since the 2009 season. After a stale 2–6 record, which included a 5 game losing streak, including a loss to in-state rival Kansas State for the sixteenth straight year . The Jayhawks upset then no. 17 Iowa State , handed then no. 6 ranked BYU it's first loss of the season, and upset no. 16 Colorado to become the first team in FBS history with a losing record to beat 3 straight AP Poll ranked opponents.[ 1] However, the Jayhawks were defeated in the final game of the season against Baylor , ending their season with a 5–7 record and preventing the team from clinching a third-straight bowl game.
