Poll/Bowl Watch

PrintJust a couple of updates as they hit the 'net...
-- AP Top 25 is released and Mizzou drops to No. 7, which their only losses coming to the No. 3 football team in the nation. Can you find a team with better quality losses? Didn't think so.
-- OSU/LSU appears to be the National Title matchup.
-- Mizzou stays ahead of KU, who came in at No. 8.
-- Mizzou's shot at the Orange Bowl is slim to none, especially with the West Virginia loss, but the fans aren't giving up. In a three-hour span, an Orange Bowl fan poll asking who people want to see has seen Missouri go from 4 percent to nearly 30 percent (as of 1:40 CST)
-- Here's how I think the bowls shake out:
Title: OSU vs. LSU (self-explanatory)
Rose: USC vs. Illinois (3-losses forgivable for "tradition")
Sugar: Hawaii vs. Georgia (Should be a bloodbath)
Fiesta: OU vs. Kansas (make it TWO BCS teams Mizzou's beaten)
Orange: VT vs. WVU (WVU loss knocks MU out of BCS picture)
-- Coaches poll released, and barring any unforeseen computer madness, it'll be OSU/LSU for the title. OU goes to No. 3 in this poll as well, with Mizzou and Kansas Nos. 7 and 8.
Update [2007-12-2 19:52:20 by rptgwb]: It's official: Mizzou is headed to the Cotton Bowl. Click for the official release.

disgusting
to think two teams that mizzou beat this year get into the bcs is just disgusting. illinois has three freaking losses to less than quality teams. kansas played one of the easiest schedules in the nation and also lost to mizzou.
i think all these games have potential to be blowouts
LSU > OSU
USC > Illinois
UGA >>>>> Hawaii
OU >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KU
VT > WVU (this one might be close)

Orange Bowl fan poll
up to 56% for Mizzou.
I'm thinking there's a very small number of votes. I wonder if it has any weight in the decision?
Right
Total bullshit, as usual.
Fucking Kansas
I really hate those fucking jayhawks. Seriously, We fucking rolled all over those fuckers quite recently. And we are ranked higher and we have cooler colors. God damn I hate the BCS sometimes. I will pray for the people who live and work in miami, because there will be an invasion of retards coming soon.
But will it be an invasion? I really question Kansas's ability to send a lot of fans to a bowl game. I guess that Missouri's showing at the Alamodome hurt us. The stadium did seem to be something like 70/30 red. That might have cost us the orange bowl
Re: Poll/Bowl Watch
This year is the beginning of the end of the BCS, I hope.
how in the world...
does a team mizzou beats w/3 losses, and another team mizzou beats and doesn't even win it's own division make it into a BCS game. what a joke.

problem is...
...it's not "the BCS" that screwed us. If the BCS had more say (instead of the individual bowls and whoever else is lobbying), we'd have gotten a better bowl being that we ranked higher in the BCS rankings. "The BCS" is now the term used for everything that sucks about college football, but the BCS was the least of our problem. The Rose Bowl's preference of tradition over reality screwed us, and the Orange Bowl's preference of, I dunno, whatever they preferred, screwed us.
Fact
We don't play OU next year in conference play.
We've got to win.
I know it's early. But the bar's been raised.
This was a great season, and stomping Arkansas into the ground will be great.
But the bar's been set. We have to win the Big 12 next year.
Illinois.
Texas in Austin.
Colorado at home.
Nebraska in Lincoln.
Arrowhead.
Big 12 Championship Game.
That's the story. The bar has been raised. I'm excited about watching this team clear it.
