KU Wins x 2

Kansas' 12-1 football team won the Orange Bowl Thursday night and their basketball team beat Boston College this morning to go 14-0.

I'm not sure that the system should have put Kansas in the Orange Bowl instead of two or three other teams, but at least Kansas proved they had a right to be there. Rock chalk!

If Ohio State's football team loses, Kansas will be the only major school (sorry Hawaii) to have just one loss. And that will make seven major schools with an 11-2 or 12-2 record. What a logjam that would be! Seven really good football programs with two losses and Kansas and Hawaii with one loss – yet another reason we need a playoff system – the BCS doesn't really tell us anything.

Kansas' basketball team is one of only six undefeated schools in the nation. The Jayhawks have nine players that average over 10 minutes per game but no one with more than 13 points per game. It would be cool to see how many different leading scorers they have by the end of the year. They can all score, they all play defense, they're pretty impressive.

It's a good time to be a Jayhawk!
