I really liked Kansas when this line came out, but I have been wondering why 66% of the public is on Kansas and the line has only moved 1/2 point? Made me scratch my head a little, so I did a little digging.

Here are some overall rankings that I dug up, hope they help:

Total O
H - 14
K - 102

Total D
H - 69
K - 20

Passing Off.
H - 20 (277 per/g)
K - 92 (182 per/g)

Run Off.
H - 36 (178 per/g)
K - 80 (128 per/g)

Pass Efficiency D
H - 23 (6.01 per/att, 17 tds)
K - 60 (6.45 per/att, 20 tds)

Run D
H - 88 (175 yd/g)
K - 4 (88 yd/g)

Pass D
H - 49 (209 yd/g)
K - 67 (220 yd/g)

Punting
K - 35 (35.4 net ave)
H - 116 (27.3 net ave)

Kick return
H - 51 (20.6 per)
K - 69 (20.1 per)

Punt return
H - 19 (12.2 per)
K - 28 (11.3 per)

Turnover Margin
H - 66 (-.18)
K - 107 (-.91)

Team Picks
Same

Fumbles Recoverd
H - 26 (11)
K - 96 (6)

Kansas
Points for 127
Points against 210

Houston
Points for 241
Points against 218

Overall the only stat where Kansas is rated higher than Houston is in total D and rush D.

BUT, the big stat is here...................Strenght of schedule: Kansas 29, Houston 100. We all know Kansas has a great defense against the run, but Houston actually has a better D against the pass (according to stats). Kansas can be thrown on:
Texas Tech 333 yards
Florida Atlantic 299 yards
Oklahoma 206 yards
Texas 281 yards
Iowa State 257 yards

My only worry with going with Kansas at this point is if they get down they dont have the O to get back into the game. Does Houston have a good enough D to keep Kansas's lowly offense from scoring, and does Houston have enough fire power to score on Kansas's D.

Wow, Houston's Punter SUCKS!!!!

I think those numbers in kinda skewed because KU went through about 3 QB's prior to Swanson playing, and since he has been in there they beat Mizzou 13-3, throttled Nebraska 40-15 and beat Iowa State 24-21 to become bowl eligible. All those teams are better than Houston and they've averaged almost 26ppg since he's been the starter.
