There are two implications in that: First, people always assume the top of the SEC when they throw around a genreic statement like that, they aren't talking about Vanderbilt. Second, it implies that MU's football play is what got them the invite. If A&M doesn't go, MU gets no invite. If Missouri doesn't have St. Louis and KC, WVU get that invite.

Missouri and A&M are good football programs. They will likely be middle of the pack teams in the SEC. Your argument that they don't belong there holds no water.
It's easy to convince yourself that you state having no cities is to blame, but Nebraska is in a major conference now too. If your team had a respectable football program they may have had options even without a major market.
