Leipold and Drink...
Five things to note:
(1) The difference between KU's 6-3 record and MU's 4-5 record, comes down to the OT sessions against WVU and Auburn. If KU loses the OT session (vs WVU) and MU wins the OT session (vs Auburn) (i.e. Mevis doesn't miss a chip shot or Peat doesn't inexplicably drop the ball), then both teams would be 5-4. That's it. That's the difference, despite all the close/lucky wins for KU and close/unlucky losses for MU.
(2) MU has had several close/unlucky losses by flukes or stolen by bad officiating. KU, on the other hand, has had the opposite kind of year: several close/lucky wins that could have easily been losses (and would have against tougher opponents).
(3) KU has only played one quality opponent all year (TCU) and they lost... WVU sucks (3-6, last place in the Big 12). Houston sucks. Duke sucks. ISU sucks. KU gave 0-3 Oklahoma its first Big12 win of the year. Oklahoma State lost 3 of its last 4 and was coming off a 48-0 beatdown by K-State. Mizzou would easily win 7 against that schedule.
(4) KU's *best* performance of the year was its narrow *loss* to TCU... MU's *best* performance of the year was its narrow *loss* to UGA... KU's *worst* performance of the year was its narrow *win* over Iowa State. MU's *worst* performance of the year was its narrow *win* over Vanderbilt. This is why wins/losses don't always tell the full story. Overall, despite the minor record differential (again, OT sessions being the difference), MU has been a better team this year than KU. The highest quality win of either was MU's convincing W against a ranked/hot South Carolina team last week (in a hostile road environment). The best *performance* of either team was MU's narrow loss to Georgia (and so far, MU is the only team that's been competitive against UGA).
(5) Leipold's predecessor, Les Miles, actually did a pretty good job of recruiting at KU, building up a nice roster for his successor. Drink, on the other hand, didn't inherit a roster from Les Miles, but rather Barry Odom (who, by the way, lost to *Liberty* yesterday... at home).
As I've said, I wouldn't trade coaches with KU. Not a chance. Again, we would easily have 7 wins against their schedule. In fact, we would have 7+ wins against *our* schedule if not for some of the craziest flukes and worst officiating I've ever seen in a single season.
Just wanted to give you Leipold fanboys some perspective.
