I don't think it's that egregious for 11-1 Kansas to get in ahead of 11-2 Missouri even if Kansas did lose the head-to-head and both of MU's losses were to Oklahoma. Just because OU is a top 10 team doesn't mean you get to pretend those losses didn't happen. Also, I don't think there's much appeal in yet another OU-MU match-up if OU has already won it twice.

On the Illinois subject, I would agree with the Rose bowl taking them. Everyone calls the Rose weird for being all about tradition/history but I think it contributes to the bowl's immense popularity. Illinois has had some very bad performances and some very good performances. If you're looking for potential upset drama, they're a great choice.
