Just like KU had their chance a week prior and blew, albeit not nearly as badly. If KU had been the one going to the Cotton and MU to the Orange, I would not have complained.

I just don't see how style points in the title game that one team didn't qualify for supersede the result of a head-to-head meeting. OU is a superior team. KU benefits from not beating an MU team that earned the right to lose to the best team in the Big 12.
That's apparently what happened. But it shouldn't. Hence my railing against the system and the bowl reps.
If that's how it works then, if MU ever has a chance to run up the score on KU, don't complain.
