Part of me is wondering if this is a slap at MU's A-Department for all the crap that happened with the basketball team?

This is why I don't watch college football. There is too much a "good ole' boys" club. Every year I hear about how the BCS screws up and man this year really takes the cake.


OU and USC should be the NC game. Not OSU and LSU.

But...but....but...... :banghead:

Yeah, OU and USC should be there because their losses to Colorado and Texas Tech and Stanford and Oregon (I'll give on that one) are much more impressive than LSU's losses in 3OT to Arkansas and Kentucky. Lets also forget that LSU has a higher SOS than both teams and beat 4 teams in the BCS top-25 (#3 VT, #12 UF, #16 Tenn, #23 Auburn).

Yep, it's a good ole boy system... and OU and USC are left out because they're not a part of that. :rolleyes:

Since when does SOS matter? MU has a stronger SOS than KU and Illinois. MU beat KU and Illinois, etc, etc.

You were just saying something abotu ranking snot really mattering after 1 and 2 now you are talking out of the other side of your mouth abotu SOS?

Uh, you were complaining that USC and OU didn't get in the NC game... they would have to be 1 or 2 to do that.

You really don't understand the system.

Just stop trying to figure it out, there are arguments for and against all the teams.

I accept that my team is in the Rose Bowl and that's that, maybe something screwy happens and we'll get a split. Right now I expect to finish 2nd or 3rd.

I don't know, if UGA, VT and OU all win their games I don't know if USC would finish higher than 5 or 6.

Very true.

Ah well maybe next year will be the year.....still got several young guys coming back, good recruiting class coming in.

Johnson/McKnight in the backfield.....Damian Williams and Mitch Mustain becoming active. I guess it'll be interesting to see who wins that QB job Mustain or Sanchez.

My money's on Mustain.

The way the season ended up they should chose about 5 different national champions, 'cause picking a champion obviously isn't important enough to the league.

LOL, angry Mizzou fan in every thread.

Heh, no doubt. They did get screwed out of the Orange Bowl for sure, but that's all they got screwed out of. You know who really got done, was Aubrun back in 04. 12-0 with wins against several top 25 teams and a few top 10's as well, they got thoroughly hosed

I kind of wish that KU would have went to the Fiesta Bowl that way MU fans wouldn't have had anything to complain about. They'd know that it wouldn't make sense for the Fiesta Bowl to pick a matchup that had already taken place 2 times.
