Seems to be either Alamo or Fiesta for Mizzou

Looks like Holiday is still leaning towards OSU and the Gator still has NU in their sites, relegating the Tigers to San Antonio with a loss in the coming game. Couple that with Feldman's pick for the Big 10+1 in the Alamo and you are looking at a (very) likely Northwestern/Mizzou matchup like The Boy talked about.

I posted earlier how I still thought Mizzou had a chance to go to the Holiday, but pretty much everyone on this site, and most experts outside of it, took me to task because of it. So I will concede that better minds than mine have the inside track here.
The Alamo Bowl is a good bowl, honestly. But if you’d have told any Mizzou fan before 2008 we’d end up in San Antonio at the end of the year, none would be happy with the outcome.
But besides the point, I think Mizzou matches up favorably against Northwestern. I see a beatdown reminiscent of the Razorbacks in last year’s Cotton Bowl. If Mizzou pulls out a victory on Saturday, who’d they play in the Fiesta, Ohio State? I’d LOVE to see Mizzou take on the Buckeyes…

Northwestern has a very athletic QB

I was impressed by him in the MN game (though that was the last game MN really played at all), but I like Pat Fitzgerald and he will have them ready to play I believe

Not Sold on Big11 This Year

I’ve watched my share of Big 10 games this season (everyone with ESPN has, you have no choice in the matter). I’ve seen Northwestern and they’ve not impressed me that much. Yes, C.J. Bacher is athletic, but so was McFadden with Arkansas and Mizzou found ways to keep his contribution to a minimum in the Cotton Bowl last year. Granted, with the way Mizzou’s defense played against Kansas, Bacher could light ’em up for 400+ yards. But I think, more than Fitzgerald, Pinkel willl have the Good Guys in Black ready to play.
