University of Kansas Athletics - Jayhawks Return Home to Host Iowa State
Kansas looks to snap a five-game winless streak on the season and a four-game skid at the hands of the Cyclones when the two teams meet on the gridiron for the 2:30 p.m., kickoff live on FOX Sports Net.
“KU's a great place and (I) had a lot of fun there and met a lot of wonderful people,” Mangino said during a 12-minute conference call with Kansas media. “Many people from Lawrence and affiliated at one time or another with KU have text me, emailed me, Tweeted me and I sincerely appreciate that. But it's really a business trip. Maybe after the game I might feel differently but not going into it.”

But you know what? As bad as it's been for Rhoads and crew lately, it's been so much worse for the Kansas faithful. Since beating Iowa State in 2009 (and getting out to a 5-0 start), the Jayhawks have gone 11-54 and have only won just two conference games in that span.

It's unwise to try to take too much away from a game like this, but it was good to see a few of the new guys actually play in a game setting and enough happened — both good and bad — to get at least a small feel for where this team is heading into the 2014-15 season.

“I think Frank inch-for-inch, pound-for-pound is the best athlete on our team. He’s as fast as anybody. He can do seven, eight backflips in a row. I’m not talking with his hands. I’m talking about just flipping in the air. He could be a cheerleader for sure if the point-guard stuff doesn’t work out for him,” Self joked. “Hopefully he’ll show his athletic ability out there some.”

CFP poll: Ole Miss falls hard; Arizona State, Kansas State make jumps - CBSSports.com
Poll mentality shows itself when a team is mindlessly dropped significantly in the rankings after losing to another team with a similar record. It also appears when a worthy team can't jump over another team with a similar record without pulling a major upset. Strength of schedule is rarely a concern among pollsters. When you lose is the most important thing.
