Stats from Opening Weeked (CFB rule changes)

Not really... in GENERAL, traditionally strong teams like USC, Florida, LSU etc. who stockpile talent will have much better kick coverage teams than teams like Boise State, WVU, Hawaii etc. - which are very good teams, but built around great coaching, offensive systems and a few extremely good players rather than an abundance of talent down the depth chart.

Exciting return men are pretty evenly distrubuted, as size is not as important as it is for a RB or WR position, so you find a lot of undersized good return men at schools of all calibers.

Also, I think that generally better schools probably have better kickers, it's very, very close to level. Often times you can find the BEST kickers at the WORST schools. (Mason Crosby, Daniel Sepulveda, etc.)

ummmm....Mason Crosby signed onto Colorado in the midst of the program being good

2001 BigXII Champions
2002 BigXII North Champs
2004 BigXII North Champs
2005 BigXII North Champs

While not national title contender, definitely a solid program when he signed and for the few years he was there
and not too far removed from being a national power in the early to mid 90s
