Last year Oklahoma destroyed Missouri’s BCS Championship dreams by defeating the top-ranked Tigers 38-17. This year Missouri has a chance to return the favor by ending a seven game losing streak to Oklahoma.
I'm hoping that Missouri does pull off the upset to right the wrong the Big 12 imposed on Texas. However, I'm hoping it happens more so for the fact that there will be even more controversy over the BCS.
Missouri 38, Oklahoma 27
