My current guess is that they're replacing the Kanou arc with a Cochlea arc. It's not possible for the Kanou arc to happen in the anime because of the way this Cochlea arc seems to pan out.

I think it'll then follow the manga again, i.e., Anteiku arc will happen (with some adjustments, probably, to make things fit together), because I seriously doubt that Ishida made a full draft for the full season. His draft basically looks like his manga with roughly the same pacing, and if he really made a full draft for the whole season, then his draft should have more than 500 pages (and that lower bound is probably too low). Imho, that's too much work for a sidejob while still working on his manga serialization and all the other stuff, so he probably either didn't draft all scenes of the original development or he only drafted original development for half a season. My bet is on the latter, because from what little I have seen of his draft, he seems to have drafted even minor scenes and fight choreography.

As for the anime's title, I think it could mean the following: If the anime's second season is Route A (Kaneki chasing after Aogiri), then the manga is Route K (Kaneki chasing after Kanou).
