Effective field-goal percentage is most important to top-10 success, as each top-10 team has a green box. KU struggled in this area a year ago — falling to 153rd because of its issues with inside shots — though the Jayhawks had never finished worse than 64th in effective field-goal percentage under Self before last season.
The Jayhawks, according to the projections, are ranked 127th out of 128 FBS teams. Only Eastern Michigan is below KU, and the next lowest power-five conference team in the projection is Rutgers, which is ranked 97th. That’s actually good news for Kansas. The Jayhawks travel to Rutgers in September.

If the Houston Cougars actually keep their 5-star recruit, they'll make history - SBNation.com
