Once they beat a class team, they will have proved it, and many of us will say nothing more, including myself.
Kansas has a good football team, we all agree on that. The question is still, how good.
Respect is earned. It's not earned by beating MAC or Sun Belt or Southland teams at home. It's not primarily earned by taking care of business against weak conference opponents. Certainly not by beating a broken, demoralized, decimated, coachless, Nebraska team at home when the program is at a historic low point. All the teams they have played that look like they belong in a major football conference have played them close so you can judge them to be better than the KSUs and the A&Ms of the world but you don't know much else.
There's virtually no way possible the schedule could be easier. The athletic department made it that way, so these are the resulting questions they have to deal with until it works itself out.
I'm not saying we know much more about Missouri at this point. They've basically done the same thing - taken care of business against inferior opposition, the only difference being that they showed they belong on the same field as Oklahoma.
You aren't going to 'convince the haters' until you prove something.
