Nebraska-Kansas football rivalry
Teams

The Nebraska–Kansas football rivalry was an American college football rivalry between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Kansas Jayhawks football teams. The rivalry dissolved when Nebraska left the Big 12 Conference for the Big Ten Conference. Due to Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, and Texas A&M leaving the conference, the Big 12 Championship Game dissolved due to a lack of teams in the conference. The last ever Big 12 Championship game was played between Nebraska and Oklahoma in 2010. Now instead of two teams playing for the conference title, the best performing team automatically receives the title at the end of the regular season.

The rivalry was a state border rivalry, and was one of the longest non-interrupted rivalries in college football with 117 consecutive annual games. The rivalry's last game was played on November 13, 2010 and Nebraska beat Kansas 20-3. This was the final game of the 117 annual game streak.[1]
