Kansas Jayhawks Bowl Projections varied

The Jayhawks have been playing well enough that they are being widely projected to land in a postseason bowl game. But the expectations are all over the place.

Now THIS is something that we aren't used to seeing: The Kansas Jayhawks being projected to make it to a bowl game. But with the Jayhawks beating the Duke Blue Devils to go to 4-0, it's getting harder to ignore that Kansas likely will be playing in December for the first time since 2008.

But while everyone agrees that the Jayhawks are expected to go to a bowl game, no one seems to agree on where exactly Kansas is headed during the postseason. So let's take a look at where people think that you might be looking to buy tickets during the holiday season.

The first one is the heavy hitter, but the rest aren't too bad themselves.
