    I'm probably partial as I grew up in Missouri and was raised a Mizzou fan, but I really think the Tigers are the better team. I predict a double digit victory. Down with the Jayhawks. Will that be enough to go to the title game? Maybe with an equally impressive win over Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game.

    If Mizzou wins out (vs KU and Sooners), they probably will still be the odd-team out of BCS championship. LSU and Oregon would likely remain as higher-ranked one-loss teams.

    Ironically enough, if KU wins out (vs Mizzou and Sooners), it is very likely that they will be in the BCS championship, thanks in large part to being the only undefeated team from a BCS conference.

    If Oklahoma wins the Big 12 title, it would be very interesting to see if a win over a top five ranked Kansas/Missouri would vault them over an idle Oregon team, who doesn't have a conference championship game like LSU and Oklahoma.

    i havent seen any team play this year so i'm really excited for that game (mizzou v. ku). it's hard to consider them good teams because their reputations arent special but then again college football this year is up in the air. but from what i hear they both deserve their respective rankings so it should be a great game. hopefully they can remain unbeaten until then.

    The Pac-10 often gets screwed by this (No Conference Championship)

    It happened in 01 when we were number 2 and Nebraska Jumped over us to get pounded by Miami.

    I think that's why the Pac-10 started having a Basketball tourney at the end of the Season. It was hurting the seeds for March Madness.

    the big ten gets hurt by it too. next week is the last set of games for the big ten. lsu will play 2 more weeks than these other conferences. ohio state had almost 2 months between their last game and the national championship to go ice cold. the pac-10 and big ten both lose by finishing earlier. i don't know why they don't fix it.

    The Big 12 can knock themselves right out of the BCS......just like they did when Texas beat Nebraska (1st Big 12 Championship game) or when A.M. took out K-State in the championship game.

    Maybe because they have not figured out that the College Football World no longer spins on them as its axis????

    I agree with Mookie, even if they win, they won't be in the ship. It's fucking obvious that the BCS wants LSU in there....hell they lost to Kentucky, and were back at number 2 just a couple weeks later...that's beyond me!!!!!!!!!

    which one-loss team has a better loss? or if you're talking about kansas... they will be in if they win out. not a doubt in my mind.

    cause week in and week out they play tough SEC opponents and find a way to win (except Kentucky).

    KU played well. you take away a number of early ku mistakes and turnovers and mizzou might not have won that one. had they not missed 2 easy field goals, that game woulda been tied before the safety. not saying mizzou isn't a fantastic team (they were definitely better and im stoked to see them play wvu in the championship), just saying you can't take anything away from kansas playing a tough game against a great team. the fact that they only lost by a touchdown despite so many mistakes (turnovers and missed kicks) shows they were for real. they had the misfortune to have their worst game against a team playing absolutely flawless football.

    I only watched 2 football games this weekend, one was LSU/Arkansas and the other was Kentucky/Tenn. I've got enough overtime to keep me happy til next season!

    Mizzou still has to beat the Sooners in the Big 12 title game before looking ahead to the BCS game. Can't believe the #1 team in the nation is still an underdog against Oklahoma. Seeing as how it's on a neutral field inside a dome, Mizzou should be given the slight edge.

    If Mizzou loses, Ohio State will be sending them a nice fruit basket as thanks.

    I'd imagine there will be a lot more OU fans at the game considering it's about a six hour drive from Norman to S.A. versus a 13 hour or so drive from Columbia. But yeah, I agree, Mizzou is ranked first and is listed as a underdog, that doesn't make much sense to me. Mizzou's only loss this season is to OU though, remember that.

    well, like someone else pointed out... how fucked up is it that the highest ranked team in the sec (georgia) isnt even playing in the sec championship? this season has been a weird one all around. hell, illinois wasn't ranked when they were favored over a highly ranked wisconsin team earlier this season.

    i'd take mizzou over oklahoma in a bet though.
