After finally cracking the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time in 674 weeks after their win over Iowa State, the Kansas Jayhawks’ streak of weeks ranked is over at 2.

KU fell out of this week’s AP Top 25 after a 52-42 loss at Oklahoma over the weekend.

The loss dropped the Jayhawks to 5-2 on the season (2-2 in Big 12 play) and was KU’s second in a row. In Week 6, KU lost at home to then-No. 17 TCU, 38-31, in front of a sold-out crowd as the featured game for ESPN’s College GameDay.

That outing, which Kansas nearly won, was impressive enough for the pollsters to keep the Jayhawks right where they were at No. 19 in the poll. But the second consecutive loss was enough for voters to drop them.

KU fell 11 spots into the “others receiving votes” category and essentially will enter Week 8 as the No. 30 team in the nation. KU received 12 points in this week’s voting, which put them 102 points behind No. 25 Tulane.

TCU, which knocked off No. 8 Oklahoma State this weekend in a battle of two of the top teams in the Big 12, jumped up to No. 8 in this week’s poll. The Horned Frogs are the highest ranked member of the Big 12 Conference, which has four teams ranked this week in addition to Kansas receiving votes.

Oklahoma State (5-1) fell to No. 11, Kansas State (5-1) stayed put at No. 17 and Texas jumped up two spots to No. 20 after its Week 7 win over Iowa State.

KU’s next opportunity to make a case to jump back into the Top 25 will come Saturday morning when the Jayhawks play at Baylor at 11 a.m. in Waco, Texas.

Daniels, Bryant both on latest depth chart

It’s hard to know exactly how much to make of the depth charts that are released on Mondays, but the one put out by Kansas for this week’s game against Baylor — 11 a.m. Saturday in Waco, Texas — featured a couple of notable names.

Injured quarterback Jalon Daniels was listed as one of two quarterbacks on the depth chart, with an OR separating him and Week 7 starter Jason Bean. Daniels missed last week’s game entirely after being injured in the loss to TCU the week before and there has been no specific timetable given for his return.

Daniels was on the sideline in street clothes for last Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma in Norman.

One other player whose name jumped off the page was cornerback Cobee Bryant, who was carted off with an ankle injury in last weekend’s loss to Oklahoma and did not return. Bryant was listed as a starter at one of two cornerback spots on this week’s depth chart.

It’s worth noting that the weekly depth chart includes the following disclaimer: “Depth chart compiled by the Kansas football athletics communications office.”

KU coach Lance Leipold likely will provide some kind of an update on both players at his regularly scheduled news conference on Tuesday.

Baylor favored by 2 scores

All of the major online sportsbooks listed Baylor as the early favorite for the Week 8 matchup between the Jayhawks and Bears, with the line favoring BU as anywhere from a 9- to 10.5-point favorite.

In the 24 hours after the lines first came out, things started to tilt toward Kansas, and most books finished Monday with KU as an eight-point underdog in Saturday’s game.

Neither team is ranked this week, and Baylor, which won the Big 12 last season, enters the game at 3-3 overall and 1-2 in Big 12 play after last week’s 43-40 loss at West Virginia.

Kansas, meanwhile, has dropped two straight after rolling to a 5-0 record to open the season. The Jayhawks are now 5-2 overall and 2-2 in Big 12 play and will have a bye after this weekend’s game at BU.
