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.

I was looking at it as if Alabama and MU wins Saturday even if we lose the SECCG I don't see why MU would get denied a BCS bowl game since they won their division and are tied with Auburn and SC with 2 losses. 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.
