In this story:

It's a battle of the unbeatens in Lawrence, Kansas this weekend. The No. 17 TCU Horned Frogs (4-0, 1-0) take on the No. 19 Kansas Jayhawks in front of another sellout crowd at David Booth Kansas Memoria Stadium.

TCU is ranked for the first time in three years and is 4-0 for the first time since 2017. Kansas is 5-0 and ranked for the first time since 2009. Plus ESPN College GameDay will be in Lawrence for the first time. This is a big game for both teams, after both are unexpectedly undefeated in early October.

TCU quarterback Max Duggan is the most efficient quarterback in the nation. However, Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels is not far behind him. Both players are having great seasons.

TCU is a 7.0-point favorite, according to SI Sportsbook. But how does our staff feel the game will go?

In Week 5, TCU demolished Oklahoma, 55-24. Just over half of our staff picked the Sooners to win the game. Five of our staff had faith in the Frogs and picked TCU to get the win. For the second straight week, Nathan came the closest with his prediction of TCU winning 35-28. Will he make it three straight this week?
