Rankings from AP Poll

The 2022 Kansas Jayhawks football team represented the University of Kansas in the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. It was the Jayhawks 133rd season. The Jayhawks played their home games at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas, and competed in the Big 12 Conference. They were led by second-year head coach Lance Leipold. The Jayhawks finished the season 6–7 overall and 3–6 in the Big 12. They qualified for the 2022 Liberty Bowl where they lost to Arkansas.

The Jayhawks won their first two games to start the season 2–0 for the first time since 2011.[3] With a win over West Virginia on September 10, the Jayhawks won their opening conference game of the season for the first time since a victory over Iowa State in 2009.[4] After defeating Houston the following week, the Jayhawks improved to a 3–0 record, their best start since 2009. In the AP poll released on September 18, the Jayhawks received votes to be ranked for the first time since the 2009 season.[5] Following what was at the time career highs in yards (324) and passing touchdowns (4) against Duke on September 23,[6] some websites began calling junior quarterback Jalon Daniels a candidate for the Heisman Trophy.[7][8][9][10] However, two weeks later he suffered a shoulder injury. The injury was initially reported as season ending, but Daniels denied the report.[11] The Jayhawks' victory over Iowa State on October 1 gave the Jayhawks their second conference victory. It was the first time Kansas won more than one conference game since 2008, and marked their first five-game winning streak since 2009. That season was also the last time Kansas started 5–0. In the AP poll released on October 2, Kansas was ranked 19th, thereby earning an AP poll ranking for the first time since 2009. After losing back-to-back games, the Jayhawks fell out of the rankings. After defeating Oklahoma State for their sixth victory of the season, the Jayhawks became bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. The victory also gave the Jayhawks their first victory over an AP-ranked team since 2010 and their first ever victory over a team ranked in the College Football Playoff poll since it was first released in 2014.[12]

The Jayhawks finished the season with three conference victories, the team's highest conference win total since 2008. The 2022 season was the first time Kansas did not finish last in the Big 12 since the 2014 season. Their eighth place finish was the best the Jayhawks had finished since the Big 12 eliminated divisions after the 2010 season. The Jayhawks qualified for the 2022 Liberty Bowl but lost a triple-overtime game to Arkansas, 55–53. Daniels, who had returned from injury during the regular season, set a team record and a Liberty Bowl record by throwing for 544 yards in the loss.[13]

In the Jayhawks first game against future Big 12 Conference opponent Houston since the 2005 Fort Worth Bowl, the Jayhawks began the game with a 14–0 deficit. The Jayhawks quickly rallied back, however, scoring 28 unanswered points to go into halftime 28–14. A lightning delay in the 2nd quarter caused halftime to be shortened to 15 minutes. Houston would go on a 10 play, 4:23 long drive for a touchdown to cut the lead to 28–21, but after a 6 minute, 75 yard drive for a touchdown the Kansas defense would force a turnover, a strip sack on Houston quarterback Clayton Tune, and on the ensuing drive the Jayhawks offense would put Kansas back up 42–21. Two Jacob Borcila field goals would put Kansas up by 18 late in the game, 48–30, giving Kansas their first back-to-back road victories since 2007, and their first 3–0 start since 2009.

In a battle of unbeaten teams more known for their basketball programs, the Jayhawks took the early lead in front of their capacity sellout crowd. The teams would trade touchdowns including a 73-yard touchdown reception from Daniel Hishaw Jr., who would break multiple tackles on his way to the end zone. The Jayhawks would never trail in the game. Despite a late score from Duke, Kansas held on to win 35–27. Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels would set career highs with 324 passing yards and 4 touchdowns with only 4 incompletions. The win moved Kansas to 4–0 for the first time since 2009 and would make them two wins away from being bowl eligible for the first time since 2008.

The Jayhawks faced the Cyclones in what would prove to be a defensive battle. The Jayhawks held the Cyclones to only 11 points, their lowest point total allowed in a conference game since 2018. The Jayhawks were held to their lowest point total of the season as quarterback Jalon Daniels, who entered the game considered a Heisman Trophy candidate, was held to only 93 yards. Kansas started the game up 14–0 before allowing 11 unanswered points. Iowa State kicker Jace Gilbert missed 3 field goals, including a potential game-tying field goal with only 27 seconds left in the game. The win moved the Jayhawks to a 5–0 record and gave the Jayhawks their second conference victory, their first time winning more than a single conference game since 2008. The game would be the final game in a stretch of 151 consecutive games the Jayhawks would play as unranked team.

Kansas was featured on ESPN's College GameDay for the first time since 2007 and hosted for the first time ever in their first game as a ranked team since 2009. TCU would start with a 10–0 lead. Late in the 2nd quarter on a drive that led to a field goal, Jayhawks' starting quarterback Jalon Daniels injured his shoulder. He would not return to the game. In the 3rd quarter, both teams would combine for 42 points as TCU would take a 31–24 lead into the fourth quarter. TCU would score what would prove to be the game-winning touchdown with 1:36 left in the game as the Jayhawks suffered their first loss of the season. The loss moved the Jayhawks losing streak against teams ranked in the AP poll to 45.
