Third best team in the conference.

I'm not really trying to Compare OSU to the Jayhawks. I'm comparing their schedule to the rest of the top 10.

They beat probably the worst Michigan team of the last 15 years and an Illinois team that didn't beat anybody.

If I were Missouri, notwithstanding history, I'd be just as pissed that an Illinois team that I beat got in too.

Bottom line, the way this year unfolded, there are many college football fans upset with the selections, period......

Your right. I honestly did not think KU would make it into a BCS bowl. I honestly felt like the better team won when KU/MU met. But I have bee n silently taking in all the KU bashing by the mooo fans and today was enough. I feel sorry for MU but not THAt sorry.

It doesn't matter, I think the Arkansas matchup is good for us and will be a great game.

The only reason it irritates me is because beakers take this as some kind of vindication that they are better than Mizzou, even though they lost head to head at a neutral site.

It doesn't matter even when you beat them on the field, deep down, they never think anyone is better than them. Even after it's been proven.

This happened because the BCS does not exist to be fair, it exists to make the most money for the member bowl games. That's ok with me. Let's just be honest about that.

That's the only explanation, because no one can make a rational argument that this was the right call.

IMO, rules shouldn't prevent 3 teams in one conference from playing in them. Florida and MU got screwed out for that reason..

You're coming off as a bit jealous, I must say, though, but I don't blame you.

All that matters to me is that MU won the North and beat Ill and KU on neutral fields. What bowl these teams are in changes nothing.

except that you are being a winy bitch

Well I know a lot of Missouri fans are probably mad right now but I don't think they should be mad at KU.

Personally I feel both teams should be playing in BCS games. If you're mad about anything it should be that there is a rule that only allows 2 teams from the same conference to get in. That rule should go out the window. I don't think teams should be penalized for being in the same conference.

All the crying about strength of schedule and head to head means NOTHING now. Thank you very much.

How exactly did KU "win"? By playing a cupcake schedule and backing into a bowl game? KU Played three... THREE teams with winning records: Central Michigan (doesn't even count), aTm, and Mizzou... and we all know how that Mizzou game went.

I concede that I wish Mizzou was in a BCS game, but I'm not the least bit jealous of your fraud football team.

ROYC75 · 12-02-2007, 07:42 PM

IMHO, USC, OU and Georgia all deserved to be called the best team playing right now in the ship' game. But that didn't happen.........

MU did get shafted, but that's the way this stupid system works..........

Hey, whatever, I think the Arkansas game is going to be good for us, probably a better matchup. But this is what it is, a gift and nothing but.

Four teams that were barely ranked and aren't anymore.

Again, I'm not comparing OSU to KU, I think OSU is the better team. What I'm saying is that there really isn't a good argument why OSU is there and not Georgia or USC except that they played a weaker schedule, didn't have to play a conference championship game, and have 1 less L to show for it.

NO ONE really "deserves" to be in this title game, and I couldn't be happier.

Let's get the playoff momentum going finally.

Wasn't one of the worst Michigan teams in the last 15 years and Illinois holds wins over Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State, and Indiana. They're more deserving of a BCS bid than Kansas was.

definitely Mizzou should be in Illinois spot and Florida should be in Hawaii's

Why does a third place team deserve it instead of a second place team? Why does a team who lost to the other deserve to get picked over them?

There's no argument. It's just business, that's fine. But there's no argument.

Yeah the Big Ten sucked this year. The only teams they beat were each other. Look at the Out of conference.

And Michigan did suck this year. It's why they lost to Appalachian State and Llyod Carr got fired, er retired.
