Jayhawks in first BCS Poll
The Jayhawks are listed as the 24th-ranked team in the country according to the Associated Press poll and the 21st-best team in the nation according to the USA Today/Coaches Poll.

Kansas is ranked 21st in the Harris Poll and is one of three Big 12 league schools in the first BCS Standings, which were released Sunday. Conference teams in the BCS listing include Texas at No. 3, Oklahoma State at No. 15 and Kansas at No. 25.

Reesing continues to excel
Senior quarterback Todd Reesing enters this week’s home game against Oklahoma ranked third in the NCAA in passing yards (330.00), completions (27.17) and total offense (340.17). He also is fifth in points responsible for (18.00) and 15th in pass efficiency (152.60), while leading the Jayhawks to a 5-1 record and a top-25 national ranking.

Earlier this week, Todd was one of 10 players to make the cut as a candidate for the 2009 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. The award is presented to the nation’s top senior college quarterback.

Briscoe and Meier a top receiving duo
Wide Receivers Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier continue to amaze Kansas football fans.

Briscoe now holds the school record for career receiving yards and is second only to Meier in career receptions.

“I think those two guys working together, in addition to Tim (Biere), John (Wilson) and Bradley (McDougald) who get overshadowed a little by how good Briscoe and Meier are,” said KU quarterback Todd Reesing. “I don’t think you can find a duo as good as them.”

Two home games remain
Kansas hosts Oklahoma this week in a 2:30 p.m. kickoff at Kivisto Field in Memorial Stadium. The game will mark the sixth time in the last three seasons a Kansas game will feature both teams ranked in the AP poll. The Sooners are ranked 25th.

The final home game of the season is Nov. 14 when the Jayhawks host Big 12 North rival Nebraska.

Tickets to the Oklahoma and Nebraska games are still available and can be purchased through the KU Athletics Web site.
