Missouri - along with several other Big 12 schools - could have done just as well. The Tigers likely win the Big East in 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and would have been right there in 2009 (when I believe flippin' UCONN won the league).
Their basketball program is unarguably better than Mizzou's (though that probably doesn't last past Huggy bear and probably takes a hit playing in the Big 12-2-1-1+? with less ties to New York), but their football program is perceived as better only because they've dominated a cupcake league.

Mizzou played in the Big XII North + 3 rotating south games. Is it that much different than the Big East?
I would buy your argument if Mizzou won the Big XII. Ever.
...or if they won the Big 8 since I was born.
