Big 12 Preview Part 8: Kansas Jayhawks

http://mvn.com/outsider/2008/08/25/big-12-preview-part-8-kansas-jayhawks/

You have to look long and hard to find a reason why Kansas should not be considered one of the top teams of the 2008 season. After pouring over stats and rosters, and everything else I could find, the only reason I can come up with is that they won't be surprising teams like they did a season ago.
