Transmogrified Tiger

Of note: current 5th string wideout Perry dusting Talib at 3:10, and Temple de-helmeting a kU safety at 5:20.

I'd like to have the word censor replace "Ken Rosenthal" with "Whimsy McFabrication".

Who deserves that spot over Mizzou if they were to win out? They'd have a Top 10 win, be 3-1 or 4-1 against Top 30 teams, and the best loss of any 1 loss team(save maybe Arizona St.) I'd was debating the Kansas as a top ten team as well. They'd be 0-0 against top tens teams and 3-1 against top 30 teams (OU, Illinois, Kansas). I am not so sure a 1 loss Big XII team is more impressive than a 2 loss SEC or Pac 10 team. I don't see how you couldn't be sure. The SOS would be equivalent, the number of quality teams played/defeated would be equivalent, and most importantly, Mizzou would have avoided screwing the pooch by losing to mediocrity like Stanford or Arizona or Kentucky or South Carolina.

Mizzou controls their own destiny. By winning out they default to number 2 in the BCS, and no one is going to jump them since their last 2 games are against the #2 team and another Top 15 team, both on neutral fields.

lol at Harrell getting interview questions screamed in his ear

my mistake. i was thinking that a bowl could take the SEC #4 over an SEC #2 if they want (since three bowls are "tied-in" to SEC They can. I think Meph was talking about BCS bowls, which is a different story.

Really interesting play there in the TT-OU game. Did anyone think that the WR had the ball and hit out of bounds before he got it ripped from him? I wish there was a camera angle that showed the transfer of possession well.

Good call, Mephistopheles. 3 for 3. Mizzou was up by 24 before they gave up a garbage time score. It lived up to mismatch status.

Injured QB's are going to kill the championship dreams of several schools this week. I don't see OU coming back from 20 down without Bradford, especially with Halzle or however it's spelled looking so bad.

It's Todd Hundley, isn't it

That wasn't really what I was trying to convey, with the whole ego comment I thought it came across as being at least partially facetious. Tech just went up 20-7 on OU in Lubbock. I guess it doesn't really matter at this point if OU loses for Mizzou's purposes, so go go Crybaby Graham. YOU MUST EARNESTLY GIVE US RESPECT WITHOUT ANY ACCOMPANYING ATTEMPTS AT LEVITY. I SHALL DO NOTHING OF THE SORT AND WISH YOUR SQUAD ILL FORTUNE IN ALL THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Which Chris Young?

For my own ego, I'm chalking that up to playing some awful defenses. Comparing the offensive output against some decent defenses(CU, KSU, aTm) makes me optimistic that our defense will do enough to keep you from keeping up with our offense. You really think we're only scoring because we've played bad defenses? Don't kid yourself. One thing we have done is played conservatively with leads on the road. That's a big part of why our offensive numbers have been less impressive against CU/aTm/KSU. But I think Reesing's leash has gotten longer now, and I still think our defense is better than yours. You definitely have the edge in O. Overall, if I were a betting man, I'd bet on Mizzou. But I think it's gonna be a game, and if we can get our ground game going, we've got a great chance. Remember, last year it was 20-17 toward the end of the 3rd quarter, and our offense was simply give the ball to Cornish. One-dimesional. This year you'll have to guard the run and the pass. I think you're scoring 50+ because of bad defenses. To simplify my point, Mizzou has scored at least 31 points in every game, and has played the two best defenses either team has faced this year in Illinois(40 points) and OU(the aforementioned 31). KU has scored < 30 points in three different games this season, Mizzou put up 40+ against all 3. Simply put, I think the gap between our offenses is greater than the gap between the defenses.

Pat White looks like Mos Def's dumb cousin or something.

Sorry, I can't follow you there. There's something to be said for the relativity between bad wins and good losses, but you can't weight them equally like that, it's the fundamental purpose of the sport. sure you can. we're talking about predicting who is better. in terms of future performance, theyre identical. This may sound crazy, but why are we talking about predicting future performance? Ranking the teams should be a reflection of what has happened, not what the percentages are moving forward. we're asking which teams is better. Which is more important? what theyve done or how good they are? answer: how good they are Now you're just playing with words. What's more important in determining team strength, what might happen, or what actually has happened?

I'd be interested in hearing how Vandy isn't a bad team. They have 5 losses and their best win is against 5 loss South Carolina, and they didn't play anybody non-con.

Bless you Jeremy Maclin. 35-18 Mizzou

And now KSU blocks a punt for a score. Mizzou blocks the XP again and it's 15-14.

Mizzou leads 14-9 after the first quarter, despite having the ball taken away from them by the officials 3 different times, with none of them being the correct call.

Mizzou crushed Southern tonight, up by 30 at the half and extended for a 40+ point win. Big game in KC on Monday, how well they acquit themselves against Michigan State and UCLA/Maryland will say a lot for how the rest of their brutal non-con will go.
