The reason why it's being talked about is because it's the most likely thing to happen. Is anyone from the North going to challenge Missouri? Kansas maybe, but that's it. Is anyone going to challenge Oklahoma? Maybe Texas, maybe Tech, but that's it. Will Missouri be 12-0? Maybe, maybe not. But as far as the top 4-5 in conference this year, that ascertation is pretty easy. It's picking the order of the next 8 teams that's the bigger challenge.
