It's damn unlikely, don't get me wrong. But upsets are made by turnovers. Turnovers are made by pressuring the QB. Mizzou pressures the QB better than any team in college football (and almost exclusively through their front 4).
And while 'Bama's defense is absolutely dominant, Mizzou presents matchup issues with it's WR size/speed that no other team 'bama has faced this year present.
IF we're able to hold serve (huge if) and get there, Mizzou has as good a chance to beat 'Bama as any team in the country, FSU excluded.
Matchups will be key and if there's any team that presents a difficult matchup for Alabama, it's Missouri. To say there's 'no chance' Mizzou can beat them is to also say that if they played 20 times, Bama would win all of them - I don't think so. With a few breaks and big plays, Missouri is capable of getting it done. It's unlikely, but not impossible.

The worst part of all this is that if by some chance we were to beat Bama, there is no way we would get a shot at the Championship....too many people want to see Oregon and FSU go at it for MU to even be considered.
