If I were Missouri, I'd be pissed. You go into the weekend #1 and don't even make a BCS bowl game? I know they were beaten soundly by Oklahoma, but that just seems wrong given that teams like Kansas (who they beat), Hawaii (who hasn't played anyone and nearly lost to a horrendous Washington team), and Illinois (three losses and who also lost to Missouri) all made BCS games. It just doesn't make much sense to me to leave them out.
Place your bets. The AV predicts the following BCS game winners:
Orange: Virginia Tech over Kansas
Rose: Illinois over USC
Sugar: Georgia over Hawaii
Fiesta: Oklahoma over West Virginia
National Championship: LSU over Ohio State
With so few good teams this year these predictions might not be terribly reliable (particularly the Rose Bowl prediction where I think USC is going to spank Illinois). I'll just keep a running tally of how good the AV is at predicting BCS game winners (currently 4 of 5 as shown here).
