The Kansas–Nebraska football rivalry was an American college football rivalry between the Kansas Jayhawks and Nebraska Cornhuskers. 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 border rivalry, and was one of the longest non-interrupted rivalries in college football with 117 straight games. The last game was played on November 13, 2010. Nebraska won 20–3. This was the final game of the 117 annual game streak.^[1]

During the 2010–14 NCAA conference realignment, Kansas was one of 5 schools in the Big 12 that sought to move to the Big Ten Conference, along with Iowa State, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas A&M, but Nebraska was the only team who successfully moved to the Big Ten.^[2]
