The computers love us though. And if we come out as SEC champions, it would be tough for human voters to reasonably drop us far enough that we'd be out of the BCS championship game...IMO.

We'll see how things shake out and IF there truly are 3 unbeatens at the end of the season. Florida State's computer rankings will likely go down from here (they have No. 7 Miami, unranked Florida and the Coastal division champ as the only "high profile" teams left). It's possible Missouri would pass them with its slate (No. 1 Bama, top 15 aTm, top 25ish Ole Miss and Tennessee) remaining should it win out. Key will be winning over the pollsters. Hard to imagine a case in which an unbeaten SEC team would NOT play for the national title.

I don't think it will happen, but I also don't expect to have the football yanked away from us if it does. That would be a virtually impossible resume to ignore and the BCS computers would almost certainly move us ahead of the field at that point.

I love the nasty streak our line has. We need them to be mean all day against Clowney...make him start thinking about staying healthy for the draft.

Thanks, I forgot that Hosick was a wrestler. Of course, it's pretty crazy to think about a QB beating our best offensive lineman.

These issues always seem to sort themselves out. I'm hoping Mizzou doesn't do any of the "sorting", but I'm pretty sure we will.

ESPN Insider article that provides anonymous quotes from coaches on each top five team. Mizzou's report is complimentary and seems pretty accurate.
5. Missouri Tigers BCS: .8219 Next three games: South Carolina, Tennessee, at Kentucky How they beat you: "That's just a good football team," one coach said. "Gary [Pinkel] is a good coach. He's been doing this a long time. He's got experienced football players. He's got juniors and seniors and they're hard-nosed kids. The three defensive ends they have are legitimate guys that can control the game." Added another: "This isn't some fluke. There's a lot of talent out there. I know they don't have their quarterback right now [with James Franklin injured], but they've got everyone else." Said another: "I think a kid that doesn't get talked about that much is No. 48 in the middle [fifth-year senior linebacker Andrew Wilson]. He plays hard, he really gets to the ball." How you beat them: "I think you have to kind of nickel-and-dime them down the field, but they get tougher and stronger near the end zone," said one coach. "You've got to stay tough down there and punch it in, anyway. The margin for error is low." Added another coach: "I don't get why people think Missouri is some kind of soft team from the Big 12. They're as physical as anyone in the league. Look at the receivers, the defensive line. To beat them, you have to match that -- or run by them." http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/trav...y/post?id=1087 |

Even if that happened it would represent the single greatest accomplishment of the program since 1969, which probably exceeds the duration of most of the lives of the people that post on this MB, myself included. An SEC championship would change everything for us competing in this league for the foreseeable future. Doesn't matter. Chances of it happening are slim to none.

It's inexcusable that we have 2-3 of the top ten players in the state committed at this point. You put far too much pressure on scouting and player development when you whiff on players you should have little to no trouble getting.

As good as this staff is at identifying and developing material what could they do if they did a semi-decent job at recruiting it. I look more at who's offering a kid than I do stars but generally speaking people that point at xyz 2* that's a stud and abc 4* that's a bust are missing the point which is that # of stars are proportionate to success. More 5* pan out than 4* than 3* and so on. And our recruiting is and has been at the bottom of the SEC making it all the more difficult for us to favorably compete in spite of it. The fact we're having a good year doesn't detract from that. There's years upon years of data w/ respect to recruiting that spell it out.

Frankly, I'm much more focused on how we are recruiting in Florida and Georgia than how we are doing in Missouri. Frankly, Missouri just doesn't produce that many elite college football players. |
