The Kansas Jayhawks and Arizona State Sun Devils are getting ready for what's expected to be the hottest college football game in the history of the sport. Temperatures are expected to be between 106-108 degrees for the 8:00 p.m. ET game on Saturday.
The game is scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m. local time in Tempe, Arizona at the Sun Devils Mountain America Stadium. The hottest game on record was a 108-degree Oklahoma versus UTEP clash in 2000.
Both team's seasons have been in opposite directions in terms of performance, with Kansas being in the middle of a disastrous 1-4 season while Arizona State has a positive 3-1 record. Last time out, Kansas lost to TCU 38-27, with quarterback Jalon Daniels throwing for 179 yards, with one touchdown and an interception. Arizona State, in turn, comes from its first defeat of the season, 30-22 to the Texas Tech Raiders. QB Sam Leavitt threw for 282 but gave up an interception.
Kansas vs. Arizona State prediction and odds
The Sun Devils are favored for this encounter, although not by as much as one would think. According to ESPN Bet, they are 2.5 point favorites and the network's game predictor gives the Sun Devils a 57.2% chance of winning the game. The over and under is set at 50.5 points.
Expect the Sun Devils to beat the Jayhawks, but not by a scandalous amount.
Prediction: 27-20 Arizona State win.
Kansas vs. Arizona State series head-to-head
The Jayhawks and Sun Devils have never faced each other in college football before, which makes this a historic occasion. Until 2023, Arizona State was a member of the Pac-12 conference and had few reasons to clash with the midwestern school.
Now, with both inhabiting the Big 12, this will be the first of many clashes between them.
