KU should remain the favorite until they falter.

I can understand your reasoning for that, and all good points. However, one thing to keep in mind was MU's weakness was the pass defense (or defense in general?) and that Juice Williams lit up their defense last year.
Perhaps maybe that MU's new coordinators might be what they need in order for this success to continue. MU has talent, that's no question. And MU fans should be happy that they have Pinkel as their HC. He did exactly what he hoped for, when he first came into Missouri, that was to try to lock up the talent in the state of Missouri in Missouri.
It looks like they put the Big XII on notice.
