As the Kansas Jayhawks reflect on their rocky start to the 2024 season, sitting at 1-4, the hopes for a Big 12 title may seem distant. However, the road is not entirely closed off.

After falling short in their first two Big 12 matchups, the Jayhawks face a steep uphill battle. Yet, there remains a glimmer of hope for a miraculous turnaround.

Realistically, they would need to win out for the remainder of the season to even have a shot at contending for the title. This scenario may sound improbable, but in college football, anything can happen.
