Kansas Jayhawks 2026 Team Preview (Ep. 3108)

From The College Football Experience Sports Gambling Podcast Network

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the Kansas Jayhawks 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 Kansas Jayhawks roster and what to expect in the Big 12 this season. Can Lance Leipold turn a 5-7 team that went 1-4 in one-score games back into a bowl squad? Was losing a true home stadium for most of last season the real story behind back-to-back 5-7 finishes?

Can Cole Ballard, the redshirt junior son of Colts general manager Chris Ballard, win an open quarterback competition in Lawrence? Can Andy Kotelnicki get more out of an offense that ranked 63rd in scoring and 67th in total offense a year ago? What does D.K. McDonald's defense look like in year two after finishing 86th in total defense? Did Kansas win or lose the transfer portal with 49 new commits and zero top-300 recruits? How does the Big 12 schedule set up with the Arizona State game shipped to London and road trips to Utah, Kansas State, TCU and West Virginia? And where's the betting value on the Kansas win total, Big 12 odds and College Football Playoff chances? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.
