This is true. It's crazy to me that Pinkel and the rest of the MU community seems to spend 90% of their time talking about KU.
KU got driven into the ground by a terrible head coach and appears to be on their way back but they still played the 11th toughest schedule in America last year and this year have the 10th toughest (Phil Steele).
MU on the other hand are trending downward (according to recruiting) and admittedly play in a stronger "top heavy" football conference. I'm not sure why they keep worrying about KU. KU has basically no impact on how their football season plays out.
