Last night was interesting. There were three key games with big implications for Mizzou:
Georgia at Auburn. This was obvious. A Georgia win helps Missouri tremendously, but it doesn't cripple Mizzou's chances. Florida at South Carolina. I didn't think Florida had any chance going in, so the fact this was a game really surprised me. I think Muschamp is a coward. A first-down play-action pass in the second half likely goes for 6 and salts that game away. Stanford at USC. If you're looking at Mizzou's hopes for the national title, this game probably helps more than either of the previous two. A one-loss Stanford team would have been a hurdle Mizzou could not clear, IMO. Now, all Missouri has to do is: 1) Win the rest of its games, including a likely SEC title game showdown with Bama 2) See at least Ohio State lose. I think the Tigers can hurdle an undefeated Baylor team, but if FSU and Ohio State finish unbeaten, they're in. No small task, right?

Same thing w/ Ohio State. The Big X is a miserable conference. Perhaps Michigan State gives them a game. South Carolina needs to win out, and Oregon will have to lose. That's pretty much an impossible order.

I think that would jump them to the top of the 1-loss team list. SEC cachet, beating Alabama and all of that. Not worried about hurdling Clemson. And I think that would be enough to slip them past Oregon, too. Remember, the computers love them, and these three wins would only strengthen Mizzou's profile. Really, it comes down to who the unbeatens are. Missouri wouldn't get selected before unbeaten Florida State or Ohio State. Unbeaten Baylor? It would have a good shot, IMO. Would be the same effect as Stanford hurdling the Bears in this week's rankings.

Stanford won't be ahead of Oklahoma State, IMO.

FL State - they aren't going to lose. Baylor - loses to Okie St. Ohio St - loses to Mich St. Oregon - lose to USC? I don't see them losing. Auburn - loses to Bama.

So we are both in agreement you haven't been telling it like it is. Good to know. Also the idea of someone that allows for the possibility that Missouri can win games and not lose them by default being a homer is hilarious.

I did tell it like it is, Mizzou has bad luck. And that statement alone doesn't make you a homer, I see it in your posts, you disagree with anyone that uses constructive criticism pertaining Mizzou.
