I don't think Mizzou would have done a whole lot better, if that's what you are insinuating. I'm pretty confident in saying Missouri wouldn't have lost to USC by 32 points. USC would have been favored but it likely would have been a 10-15 point game rather than a complete blowout. Agree with this assessment.
