The only way we're getting to a BCS game is if we win the SECCG. Sucks, but such is life. We're not getting a BCS bowl over a 2-loss Auburn team. Fresno State and UCF will get to a BCS game by playing schedules that would embarass a WAC squad....a 2 loss SEC team that advanced to the SEC championship game will not. Jayhawks fans will continue to talk about BCS berths as though they're indicative of actual team strength. Such is the circle of life.
That ****ing lucky tipped ball against Georgia will bite us...again. As will 4th and 15. There are so many 'what ifs' in this season that Mizzou really needs to do the only thing it can control and win out.
Our odds of winning out are significantly improved with Auburn beating 'bama. If Bama loses and MU beats Auburn, I'm not sure how you can avoid having MU jump both of them to become the #1 team out of the SEC and still in the hunt for the National Championship.
I don't see how Mizzou gains anything by Alabama winning that game.

They don't. The best they could get is #4 in the BCS standings. They still have to face Bama in the SECCG and unless they win (long shot at best), they are out. Even if they win it will be a long shot to play in the BCS Championship game as either FSU (doubtful), or tOSU has to lose.
