Mizzou lost 2 games that season, while KU's only loss came to them.
Of course KU's only loss came to them, who the fukk else would they have lost to? Do you not remember their schedule that year?
8-5 Central Michigan (MAC team)
5-7 Toledo (MAC team)
3-8 Southeastern Louisiana (FCS)
1-11 Florida International (Sun Belt)
5-7 Kansas State
3-9 Baylor
6-6 Colorado
7-5 Texas A&M
5-7 Nebraska
6-6 Oklahoma State
3-9 Iowa State
How the fukk do you NOT get 11 wins with that schedule? Even the mid teams they played, they barely won. Kansas State by 30-24, Colorado 19-14, and Texas A&M 19-11.
Missouri not only beat Kansas, but both of its losses were to 11-2 Oklahoma, a team Kansas
never even played. Kansas also dodged 9-3 Texas and 8-4 Texas Tech, the only other ranked teams in the conference, and didn't play
anyone OOC while Missouri beat Ole Miss and #18 ranked Illinois.
Missouri reached 11-2 by going 3-2 against ranked teams, including beating Kansas but being forced to play Oklahoma twice.
Kansas reached 11-1 by going 0-1 against ranked teams, including getting beat by Missouri and not playing Oklahoma at all.
You don't see the problem?
If Missouri's name was "Alabama", they would have been in the BCS bowl over Kansas without even a debate.
