Hyperbole aside, he's not far off. Obviously College Gameday disagreed when they came to town for our victory over the Sooners, but very few games have national appeal. Look at the week three football thread. Only two games were even worthy of being bolded. With a few exceptions, college football is about local rivalries.
The SEC has done an incredible job of elevating it's teams into the national consciousness. Hopefully Mizzou can capitalize on the opportunity the SEC provides to become one of those programs. In the meantime, Mizzou fans get games against marquee opponents several times a season. Regardless of who we play out of conference, it's a fun schedule every year. Hell...Tennessee and Auburn are much cooler games than Oklahoma State and Baylor even if they are down.
