Week after week, it's the same thing. Good news is that there isn't a large advantage for Colorado, just a consistent advantage. After the jump, a look at the Big 12 as a whole with these stats and quick test for Owen's Power Rankings.
First, a lazy graph that shows each team's average conference rank in each category. We know football is about a lot more than stats but the graph shows that the big picture matches pretty well with the on-field results.
And one last graph, comparing the Big 12 ranks above with Owen's Power Ranking for this week. Does he show any bias?
He has mentioned growing up as a Cyclone fan.

Interesting little recruiting nugget from Jayhawkslant...
Kansas just offered a guy named Zack Stoudt. 6’5" 235 pound pro-style QB playing JUCO ball in Iowa. His dad played for the Steelers and he was slated to go to Pitt before a last minute commitment switcheroo left him on the outside looking in.
He’s a December grad so he’d be hear in the spring.

I know the conventional wisdom is that Gill wants a dual-threat QB, like he was in his day,
but he keeps playing/recruiting QBs that are less mobile and more pro-style. Chose Webb over Pick. Brought in Meacham. Now Stoudt. Are we wrong in thinking that he eventually wants a dual-threat QB?
The only people who really know where [the edge] is are the ones who have gone over it.

no I don't think we're completely wrong...
I mean Cummings is definitely a dual threat. I’d say they are probably open to both and Long has certainly coached both.

I think
The coaches are just desperate for competent quarterback play, no matter what the style.
I take this as a sign that Long and Gill don’t feel like this team’s future QB is on the roster yet. Webb and Pick should probably be very worried.

depth could certainly still be a concern...
considering our current situation.

I don't know.
Tom Brady would be worried if he had to play behind our line.
Given another year of experience and another second to throw and Webb could become the next Drew Brees.
There is just no way to judge what we have at QB behind our shitty line.
And I’d also point out……Zack Stoudt fits the build of an LB too (a bit tall, but if he’s fast and 235lb….take him!).
build a damn football program, beat some ass, and get on tv more.
This seems like a problem

The one thing KU seems to do well, and CU can counter that with their one strength.

That's about KU's average...not sure we do that so well.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
