College fotball: Kansas fires coach David Beaty

After a loss to Iowa State on Saturday in which the Jayhawks looked unprepared and uninspired, Kansas coach David Beaty was informed he would be let go after the season, with three games remaining.

"Ultimately," Kansas athletic director Jeff Long said Sunday night, "I did not see a path forward to long-term success in the Big 12."

Beaty, who is 6-39 with just two Big 12 wins in three-plus seasons, will begin the end of his tenure with Saturday's rivalry game at Kansas State. He will be paid $3 million in up to six installments under terms of his contract, which was extended two years through 2021 in late 2016.

Wake Forest starting quarterback Sam Hartman will miss the rest of the season with a leg injury, the team said.

Coach Dave Clawson disclosed Hartman's injury on Sunday, a day after he was hurt during a 41-24 loss to Syracuse.

Hartman had started all nine games for the Demon Deacons (4-5, 1-4 ACC) but becomes the 12th Wake player to suffer a season-ending injury. Wake Forest plays at North Carolina State on Thursday night.

Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame remained 1-2-3 in the Associated Press Top 25, and No. 7 West Virginia re-entered the top 10, surging from No. 12 after beating Texas on a go-ahead two-point conversion in final minute.

No. 4 Michigan, No. 5 Georgia and No. 6 Oklahoma each moved up a spot. Iowa State (23rd) was ranked for the first time this season, one of five teams to enter the new ranking.

No. 10 Washington State 19, California 13: Gardner Minshew threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Easop Winston Jr. with 32 seconds left for the Cougars (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12, No. 8 CFP), who won their 12th consecutive home game.
