Result:
LOSS

Missouri took over the #1 ranking in the country with its win vs Kansas last week. A win here will lockin a spot playing for the National Championship. If Oklahoma wins, and they get some help, could still lead to them playing in a National Championship game as well. Missouri gave Oklahoma all it could handle in Norman, and in fact led the game in the 4th quarter, when Oklahoma ran in a Missouri fumble to seal the outcome. Missouri out-gained them in that contest. Since that game Missouri has gotten even better, has built momentum, rattling off six straight. In those games, they have played good, with no opponent coming within 8 points of them, and that was the #1 team in the country, Kansas. Oklahoma has some key injuries at RB, and most noteworthy on defense. Defensive End Austin English (9.5 sacks) sat out last week, and is a maybe this week, but not 100% if he plays. Chase Daniel has emerged as a Heisman hopeful with a brilliant season, completing over 70% of his passes for nearly 4,000 yards, and 33 TDs with only 9 INTs. Jeremy Maclin, only a freshman, could be the X-factor in this one for Missouri. Maclin has caught 69 passes for 954 yards and 9 TDs, but that's not all. He has returned two punts for TDs, as well as rushing for 309 yards, with four more TDs. Since the start of conference championship play, there have been 28 games featuring teams playing for the second time in the same season. In 23 of them the team that lost the first one has won, or played closer in the rematch. We like Missouri, who has revenge, motivation, and all the momentum to come away with the win.
