KSU returns everybody but their qb (they are currently searching the planet for that position) and has a coaching staff that can actually coach now. CU returns all the offense including the entire O-line that was out this year. KU returns practically everybody and is currently having their best recruiting season ever. ISU returns a lot of young talent. Looks to me like the North will actually be better.

The NE qb graduation is a huge loss along with some from their defensive line. They lost a lot of leadership types.

Yes, Nebraska will be somewhat of a question mark. But they played better as the season went on and that means good coaching. Plus they had a lot of linebacker injuries so that part of their D should be better. I would love to see them drop a little, but I think they have too much talent waiting in the wings for that to happen. Just look at their last 3 recruiting years.

ya we played better as the year went on in chiz year one to

Mizzou i expect to be on the decline at least for a year.

Daniel, Maclin, Coffman, and Saunders. That's pretty much 65% of the WR/TE passing game there. Around 260 of the 400 balls caught.

While KU is bringing back the full monte of skill position players, they are taking some good sized hits on defense(LB) and 3 starters on the interior Oline.

That's what she said.

We wouldn't play him unless we happen to get in the championship game somehow, but McCoy is having 2nd thoughts too.

It will be interesting to see what KU does at linebacker. They may not stop the run as well as they did, but they could be better against the spread. The linebackers couldn't cover anybody. Everybody loses some players. Even you guys are losing the receiver that really hurt KU and the d-end we doubled all day. But I still think every team will be better or just as good next year.

Yeah, but they might be losing 3/4 of their D-line if Suh goes to the NFL. Might take them a while to get situated there with so many losses.

Also, they lose a very versatile RB in Lucky, their top 2 receivers, and the QB who made the offense go. Not a stretch to think they won't be nearly as good on that side of the ball.
