TheKansas Jayhawks are a win away from bein the #1 team in the country

[sandycove]

Well, I know how to put it:

I was in the stands at Allen Field House 3 December 1956 when Wilt lit it up for 52 points against Northwestern (87-69) in his first varsity game.

I was in the stands at Miami’s Orange Bowl in ’69 when Bobby Douglass and John Riggins went down to Penn State 15-14 because KU had 12 men on the field for four of the last six plays.

I was at the team hotel post-game in Kansas City in 1988 the night Danny and the Miracles improbably whipped Oklahoma 83-79 to take the national title at Kemper Arena.

Tonight’s game is bigger...

If we win.

As far as I’m concerned, the Big XII title game and any subsequent BCS events are wholly irrelevant and any notion of Kansas becoming the national intercollegiate football champion in any year is preposterous...

But it is fun.

Just listened to the local radio station for an hour here in columbia. Apparently this is being billed as the biggest day in missouri sports history. bigger than rams winning SB or Cards winning the WS.

Oh yeah, and mizzou's offense will have no problem putting up 40, i heard that alot.

Winner of this game has like a 5-10% chance of winning the title, lol. GL to fans of both teams though.

No chance will the winner of this game be favorites in both the Conference Championship game and National Championship game.

I don't know, that doesn't seem so unreasonable to me. Especially since WVU is perhaps the most likely title game opponent.

[KUJustin]

There's a 20% chance they'll be 70% favorites in the CCG (OSU), and 80% that they'll be at about 50% (OU).

I think either team is within a 3 pt spread of WVU (probably favored), same against OSU.

30% to win the title assumes they're 54% to win the title game which was possibly ambitious. Either way 10% was way off and 30% is closer to correct than 25%.

I'll lay 3 to 1 that they don't fooo shoooo

I think you can't rule out a 12-1 Kansas team in that scenario with the other contenders having two losses. They'd probably be behind 2-loss LSU and a 2-loss OU team that just beat them though.

tOSU doesnt have two losses. So they'd have to be beaten out by only one other 2-loss team. They will be.
