It's been so rewarding watching Mizzouchebags explain how conference scheduling works. Back in 2007, they didn't understand it apparently. But now they do. It's great theatre watching the 180-degree change in logic.

Kansas SOS 2007: 74 Mizzou SOS 2007: 25 Mizzou SOS 2013: 24 In case you can't add, Mizzou's SOS this year was 50 spots higher than your "magical" year. Kansas opponents in 2007 Central Michigan: 8-6 with a 86 SOS SE Louisiana: 3-8 with a 151 SOS Toledo: 5-7 with a 100 SOS Florida International: 1-11 with a 66 SOS ***REAL impressive non-con there*** Kansas State: 5-7 with a 38 SOS and 3-5 in Big 12 play Baylor: 3-9 with a 39 SOS and 0-8 in Big 12 play Colorado: 6-7 with a 14 SOS and 4-4 in Big 12 play Texas A&M: 7-6 with a 26 SOS and 4-4 in Big 12 play Nebraska: 5-7 with a 4 SOS and 2-6 in Big 12 play Oklahoma St: 7-6 with a 18 SOS and 4-4 in Big 12 play Iowa St: 3-9 with a 20 SOS and 2-6 in Big 12 play Missouri: 12-2 with a 25 SOS and 7-1 in Big 12 play Virginia Tech: 11-3 with a 36 SOS So as a recap you beat 4 teams with a winning record in 2007 (Cen Mich, A&M, Ok St, V Tech). The three teams you DID NOT play in conference this year were Texas (10-3/5-3) Oklahoma (11-3/6-2) and Texas Tech (9-4/4-4). There is your evidence. The 3 teams you played from the South were far and away the 3 worst teams that year. Nobody you played from the north and beat finished the year above .500. There is ZERO combinations of scheduling that could have resulted in an easier path. Missouri oppenents in 2013 Murray St: 6-6 with a 126 SOS Toledo: 7-5 with a 77 SOS @Indiana: 5-7 with a 36 SOS Arkansas St: 8-5 with a 110 SOS ****also not a murderer's row, but definitely better...also played one on the road while all 4 KU were home*** Vanderbilt: 9-4 with a 50 SOS and 4-4 in SEC Georgia: 8-5 with a 8 SOS and 5-3 in SEC Florida: 4-8 with a 19 SOS and 3-5 in SEC South Carolina: 11-2 with a 6 SOS and 6-2 in SEC Tennessee: 5-7 with a 10 SOS and 2-6 in SEC Kentucky: 2-10 with a 14 SOS and 0-8 in SEC Ole Miss: 8-5 with a 9 SOS and 3-5 in SEC Texas A&M: 9-4 with a 26 SOS and 4-4 in SEC Auburn: 12-2 with a 13 SOS and 7-1 in SEC Oklahoma St: 10-3 with a 22 SOS and 7-2 in Big 12 Mizzou beat 7 teams that finished the year with a winning record. The teams they did NOT play in the SEC were Alabama (11-2/7-1) Arkansas (3-9/0-8) LSU (10-3/5-3) and Miss St (7-6/3-5). We played the 1,4,5,6 teams out of 7 in the SEC West. We missed the 2,3 and 7th teams. So for a recap, so we can put your argument to bed as the crap it really is: KU's dream season saw them go 11-1 and finish the year ranked #7 (Mizzou ranked #4 that year) in the country. They beat one ranked team, Virginia Tech and lost to the only ranked team they played in conference play, Mizzou. They had an absolutely pathetic non-con schedule where they never left the comfort of their home. They missed the 1,2,3 teams in the South, instead playing against the absolute easiest possible combinations of teams. All of this equaled a 74th ranked strength of schedule. And after this "perfect storm" of a season, things return to normal on campus and you're now back to setting other records, only this time they involve losing 20 something consecutive conference games and barely even having what you could call an actual football team. Mizzou finishes 2013 with ANOTHER top 5 ranking in the country. They were AGAIN one win away from playing in the national championship. Our SOS was 24 this year, compared to 74 for KU in 2007. We played a tougher non-con, had a much more difficult conference schedule against better opponents. We beat multiple ranked opponents and played in a conference who's overall SOS easily trumps that of the Big 12 in 2007. We beat you AND finished with a higher ranking in your golden year, all while playing a more difficult schedule. We did even better this year. Please help me out and explain any other way to interpret all of these actual FACTS.... |

KU was awarded the Orange Bowl because they are a bigger draw nationally. No one here has ever changed on that position. |

Not one person on the MU side has ever brought up the same "dream scenario" happened for them this year. Unfortunately on the biggest stage it was a whitewash for Auburn which showed what would have happened this season if they would have had to play Auburn, LSU and Alabama. It keeps Pinkel there for another decade which I know MU fans are thrilled about. |

Mizzou was 4th in the BCS computers and Kansas was 5th so I can see why they felt they should have been selected. It's too bad for them that Illinois got into a BCS Bowl when they didn't. They were hoping a conference change would get them better protection when bowl selections were made, but unfortunately they ended up in the exact same place: picking Cotton.

KU bought the orange bowl after Mizzou refused to commit to ticket purchases

Which part of 74<24 is so difficult for you to understand? Arguing against facts laid out in front of you is cute. |

However that's impossible being that in the Big 12 there is no dodging. The way the game is supposed to be played. |

Mizzou fans spend more time worrying about going Cotton in 2007 than 2013. It's really weird. They promised the SEC wouldn't treat them like "Big Bevo" did but look now.
