ESPN's Heather Dinich wrote an article titled "It took till last game, but Kansas proved it belonged." What an idiotic thing to write about the KU victory in the Orange Bowl. The Jayhawks beat the Virginia Tech Hokies and definitely deserve recognition for having a solid season. But, the fact remains that the Missouri Tigers should have been in the Orange Bowl on the strength of their season in which they lost to only 1 team (Oklahoma - albeit twice) and beat KU. Missouri also took down Illinois in their non-conference schedule. Who did KU play non-conference?
Missouri throttled Arkansas 38-7. I would say that Missouri made a decent case that they should have played a more dangerous opponent than the 8-4 Razorbacks. In fact, if anything was "confirmed" in the last few days (aside from that OU needs to take a hard look at bowl prep and defensive strategies), I'd say it was that the Missouri Tigers should have been playing in a BCS game. Kansas is a good team, but they lost to Missouri straight up and have not done anything this year to prove that it was better than their rival ... thus, they definitely didn't prove they belonged in the Orange Bowl over Missouri.
