UH only major college unbeaten team after Kansas loses

Advertiser Staff

And then there was one.

The University of Hawai'i football team became the only undefeated team remaining in major college football when Kansas lost to Missouri, 36-28, today.

The Warriors (11-0) won their first outright Western Athletic Conference championship yesterday with a 39-27 victory over Boise State at Aloha Stadium. UH hosts Washington (4-8) next Saturday for a chance at an undefeated regular season and a possible berth in a prestigious Bowl Championship Series game.

Hawai'i is No. 15 in the latest BCS standings and needs to reach the top 12 to get an automatic BCS berth. The Warriors also can earn a berth by finishing in the top 16 and have a higher ranking than one of the champions of the BCS conferences.

The new BCS standings will be released tomorrow afternoon.

The standings are based on two polls — the USA Today coaches and the Harris Interactive — and six computer rankings. UH is ranked No. 13 in both the USA Today and Harris polls. Kansas (11-1) was No. 2 in both polls.

Washington comes to Honolulu after losing to cross-state rival Washington State, 42-35, in the 100th Apple Cup today.
