Kansas City, MO – In the five games that comprise college football's Bowl Championship Series, or BCS, the Kansas Jayhawks are one of this year's surprise teams. Kansas will take their 11 - 1 record to their first BCS bowl game appearance Thursday, January 3 against Virginia Tech at the Orange Bowl in Miami. KCUR's Greg Echlin has more on KU's unexpectedly successful season.
