      Mizzou would be a dog against:

      WV, Ohio St., USC, Georgia, LSU, and yes, Oklahoma. They are #1 because they've beaten... who? Kansas? Kansas was a fraud that hadn't beaten anyone in the top 25 (and that includes others receiving votes). If you want to back Mizzou at a plus sign that's fine, but don't pretend that they should be favored or even that it should be pk'em.

        I think the line is about right considering OU beat Missou by 10 at home. Oklahoma hasn't beat anyone special except for Missou and an average Texas team.

          Wasn't there a fumble that really impacted the game the last time these two teams met. I don't remember it well but I think it turned into 7 points..... I remember it being a bit of a sloppy game....

          This one looks like a coin flip.

              I don't even remember watching their last game. Was Oklahoma just the better team or did Mizzou give it away?

                I know the game was close until the 4th quarter, but the thing I remember most was the OU kicker missing like 4 extra points.

                    Missouri gave it a way... sort of. They had the lead at the start of the fourth and turned it over a couple times. They tried some stupid wide receiver pass in a one score game that ended in a pick to basically seal the deal.

                    But don't forget, that was in Oklahoma. Now its in Missouri. Missouri has improved and has everything to play for. I've been saying for about 6 or 7 weeks now that Missouri is the best team in the nation. one of the previous posters is correct, however, in saying they have not beat any great teams this year... but they do have many many blowout wins over average and good teams. They definitely have the talent to beat Oklahoma.

                    If I played, I'd play Missouri +3. However, that would be a conflict of interest for me since I want them to lose so the Buckeyes make it to the title game. So I'm gonna let this one alone. Otherwise, I'd love Missouri here

                        The game tomorrow is in San Antonio, which is much closer to OK than MO.

                        EDIT: Maritime beat me to it.
