Lost to Baylor and RGIII by a TD
Lost to #20 K-State by a TD
Lost to #4 Okie State, but who didn't lose to #4 Okie State?
Beat #16 Texas A&M in their back yard.

Seems like every week they played a nationally ranked team.
The kid at QB Franklin gets better every game, he's smart for a sophomore.
Completed 2 out of every 3, nice 2:1 TD to pick ratio, lofty 141 passing rating he's not a mad bomber, but that's not the Tiger offense.
Even without Josey (out with knee) and his 1000 + yards out, Mizzou has enough weapons to offset that.
QB Franklin is a Vick type, ran for 800 plus himself, and Kendial Johnson average 5 per run.
Tar Heels are a mediocre 7-5 ACC team with a very good QB, Bryn Renner had a very nice year, but NC doesn't have a quality win all season, got shutout by NC State, was competitive losing to Va. Tech, Miami beat them outright, and Clemson hung a 59 spot crushing them.
Even without Josey, too much Missouri.
If Josey was in, I got Mizzou by 17 with out Josey, I got Mizzou by 11.
Missouri is the play
