Lawrence, Ks. —The 13th-ranked Utah Utes (9-2, 6-2 Big 12) travel to Lawrence for their regular-season finale against the Kansas Jayhawks (5-6, 3-5 Big 12) on Friday.

It’s a matchup of differing but significant motivations: Utah is fighting to keep its long-shot Big 12 title hopes and College Football Playoff dreams alive. Kansas is scrapping for bowl eligibility and a memorable Senior Day upset.

The Utes have won four straight and remain in the championship hunt, but they dropped one spot in this week’s CFP rankings despite a dramatic comeback win over Kansas State, reflecting skepticism from the committee about the Big 12’s depth.

Headed to Kansas 🛫
