  • Maybe one day they'll be good enough to play in a big boy bowl.

  • Mizzou is good and they will have another good season this fall. The Cotton Bowl sure is not something to shrug your shoulders at.

  • Not much of a football freak but did I notice more than a three man D line? Big bucks for the university and free hats and t shirts for the players....

    Mizzou has always strived for mediocrity.

  • Not that it matters too much but it will be interesting to see where they finish.

    They were ranked 8th. The #3, #5, #6, and #7 teams all lost their bowl games I believe.

  • And, just to be clear -

    it's Miz-zou-RAH-RAH-RAH -

    simply because Miz-zou-REE-REE-REE is just wrong.

  • Dug, they will finish 5th, behind Auburn, Florida State, Michigan State and Oklahoma.

  • Mizzou did finish #5 but curiously South Carolina finished 4th.

    It seems like you are punished if you win a conference and then lose the conference championship - the "extra" game. Are you better off not winning the SEC East so you don't have another loss in the SEC Championship.

  • S. Carolina beat Mizzou. They are justifiably ranked higher.

    -- Posted by FreedomFadingFast on Tue, Jan 7, 2014, at 9:41 PM
  • I know that S. Carolina did beat Mizzou. Question - before the bowl games SC was ranked 9th and Mizzou 8th. I would have thought the issue of SC's double overtime win was settled before the bowl games and they were ranked lower. What changed?

    Again - it's irrelevant in the scheme of things. Mizzou had a great year and I hope for more next year. Just curious.

  • Dug,

    As the rankings are "voted" on by sports media people, I put no stock in the rankings. Glad a playoff system is coming next year.

  • FFF - yes. I believe they are going to a 4 team playoff? I was thinking an 8 team playoff would require the championship teams play 3 extra games.

    It's ridiculous when you see two teams play in competitive bowl games who haven't played in a month or so.
