Best thing for Kansas would be no change in B12 teams.

I hate to break this to you, but the power has been in the south since Missouri and Colorado united with the south division in moving the headquarters to Dallas. Heck, Missouri and Colorado even voted for the old SWC commissioner (Steve Hatchell) who pretty much sank that conference. Nebraska, Missouri, and Colorado leaving won't change the balance of power in any significant way. If anything maybe the north gains two voters who will actually align themselves with their north brethren this time, lol.

As for Kansas, they'll do what they have to do to survive. I have faith in the KU athletic director to keep them in a BCS conference. Lew Perkins is one of the better athletic directors out there and he'll make sure KU is in position to weather the storm. If that means hitching our wagon to Texas then so be it.
