^ Kansas State counts this as a win even though they lost the game to Kansas 20-18. Kansas was forced by the Big Eight Conference to forfeit this game after beating Kansas State on the field. Kerwin Bell, a Kansas running back was later determined to be ineligible at the time of the game. However, this was not an NCAA sanction and the Big Eight conference no longer exists legally, so Kansas claims the victory and the NCAA considers KU to be the winner of the 1980 game as well.
