Notes

  1. The outcome of Iowa's game vs. Kansas in 1891 was disputed. Iowa lists the game as an 18–14 Hawkeye victory, because Kansas left the field before the final play of the game. Iowa scored a touchdown and then the game was over. Kansas lists the game as a 14–12 victory.
  2. Due to events related to World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association did not schedule any official conference games, recorded no standings, and awarded no title for 1918.
  3. 1 2 3 Missouri lost to Kansas but now claims the win by default due to an ineligible Kansas player (Bert Coan). The 1960 Big Eight title was retroactively awarded to Missouri. Kansas and the NCAA recognize Kansas' win. [2]
  4. In 1977, Kansas lost to UCLA 17–7. However, UCLA later forfeited the game, giving Kansas a 4–6–1 final record.
  5. 1 2 3 The Jayhawks were coached by head coach Terry Allen, who was fired on November 4 and replaced by interim head coach Tom Hayes.
  6. 1 2 3 On September 28, after starting the year 2–2 and going only 6–22 in two-plus seasons, head coach Charlie Weis was fired. Linebackers coach Clint Bowen was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
