Have fun with that. I'd prefer play a team that should've lost twice already to the guys that seam to toy with whoever's on the other side of the field. I want that flag in the rafters and I'd prefer the easier route to getting it.

Only way Missouri jumps Ohio State is if Missouri wins out and Ohio State loses a game. No way a one loss team will jump an undefeated team from a power conference.

Really, I think we root for Auburn this week.

If Auburn beats Bama, I think Mizzou has a better than average shot at knocking them off (presuming we beat A&M).

The only way we're getting to a BCS game is if we win the SECCG. Sucks, but such is life. We're not getting a BCS bowl over a 2-loss Auburn team. Fresno State and UCF will get to a BCS game by playing schedules that would embarass a WAC squad....a 2 loss SEC team that advanced to the SEC championship game will not. Jayhawks fans will continue to talk about BCS berths as though they're indicative of actual team strength. Such is the circle of life.

That ****ing lucky tipped ball against Georgia will bite us...again. As will 4th and 15. There are so many 'what ifs' in this season that Mizzou really needs to do the only thing it can control and win out.

Our odds of winning out are significantly improved with Auburn beating 'bama. If Bama loses and MU beats Auburn, I'm not sure how you can avoid having MU jump both of them to become the #1 team out of the SEC and still in the hunt for the National Championship.

I don't see how Mizzou gains anything by Alabama winning that game.

If Alabama loses they won't drop far and heck with their history they might still get the NC game.

Of course we both agree winning it out solves all these issues. But being a MU fan I am trained to know that isn't going to happen so I am looking at what would be the best way to get a BCS bowl game with 2 losses.

South Carolina could wind up in a rematch against UCF. The system is a joke, and the playoff can't get here soon enough.

Yeah, I would also prefer a chance to play an interesting team in a bowl instead of some goofy BCS mandated matchup, if the teams were level.

I'll say that, sure - but it's wrong.

The BCS prestige will be a huge recruiting coup, IMO. It didn't help Kansas because Kansas was simply a shit program and couldn't build on that momentum. Mizzou's shown to be competent across the board with solid recruiting for upwards of a decade even without that boost.

Being able to point to a Sugar Bowl win would be huge in living rooms throughout the south. You can go into some of Georgia's stomping grounds and take their guys. You can go toe to toe with SC and Florida and win a recruit or two.

We have to get a 'headline' win to take the next step.

It sucks. I hate it. The BCS bowls are absolutely silly little rigged titles that don't represent much...but 18 year old kids and their starstruck parents will absolutely eat that shit up.
