Matchup Preview | November 17, 2012
	@
Kansas State Wildcats (3-6, 0-3 Away)		#5 Missouri Tigers (8-1, 4-0 Home)
Offensive Stats Comparison #93 Total Yards #72 #86 Passing Yards #14 #79 Rushing Yards #96 #65 Points Per Game #3 Defensive Stats Comparison #65 Total Yards Allowed #1 #102 Passing Yards Allowed #33 #2 Rushing Yards Allowed #1 Game Notes The Missouri Tigers host the Kansas State Wildcats. As the season winds down the Tigers are eying their Border War with #11 Kansas next weekend, but they need to pay attention to the Wildcats. James Franklin is questionable, and after two close games the Tigers have shown they are vulnerable to certain attacks. If they are spread out and rushed the Tigers secondary is vulnerable to short and medium range passes. There will not be much rushing in this one, as the top 2 rush defenses in the nation meet up.

Games to watch the second to last weekend of November
Kansas State (3-6) travels to #5 Missouri (8-1)
Iowa State (1-8) travels to #11 Kansas (8-1)
#2 Boise State (9-0) travels to Fresno State (9-1)
#16 Iowa (9-1) travels to Nebraska (6-4)
#10 Utah (9-1) travels to #1 Oregon State (10-0)
Washington (5-5) at #3 Oregon (9-1)
#4 Illinois (9-1) goes to Ohio State (6-4)


All eyes will be on Boise State and Oregon State. If those two teams win out they will meet for the BCS National Championship. Also controlling their own destiny is #3 Oregon as the Ducks play the Beavers next week.
The #10 Utah Utes could also finish in the BCS title game if they defeat the Beavers this week, the Cal Bears next week, and then either Oregon or Oregon State in the Pac-12 title game.

Border War a throwback to 2007

In 2007 the Border War between Kansas and Missouri became a hugely televised and viewed football game as the #2 Kansas Jayhawks battled the #4 Missouri Tigers.
But for one loss, #10 Kansas might be ranked #1 or #2 again. Missouri is ranked #4 again. Whoever wins this game clinches the Big XII, they are both 7-0 in the league and whoever wins will be 8-0. The only two teams capable of finishing 8-1 are Missouri and Kansas, if the winner of the Border War loses next week they still hold the tiebreaker and will represent the Big XII in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl.

Last year's game was a shootout, and this year will be very similar. The Tigers have a weak secondary again, and Webb has been shooting up defenses for Kansas. Missouri hopes to hold Webb down, as the Kansas offense is prolific and could easily score 40-60 points, as they are currently averaging over 46 points per game and are #1 in scoring in the nation.

2012 Civil War has national title stakes

#2 Oregon (10-1) and #6 Oregon State (10-1) are getting it on, rivaling the Border War for attention, with a little more at stake. Whoever wins the 2012 Civil War gets the Pac-12 title bid, and providing Utah handles Cal like they should, will get another top 10 opponent to try and showcase why they should be the the BCS National championship in January.

If Oregon wins out they are guaranteed a slot, Oregon State will most likely be guaranteed one but Illinois is ranked above them and if they beat Wisconsin this weekend and Iowa stays a one loss team then it's anyone's guess.

Missouri to open 2013 at Chick Fila Kickoff Classic

Missouri has agreed to a kickoff classic with Georgia to open the 2013 football season. They also signed a deal to play a home and home series with Michigan in 2013 and 2014. The 2013 contest will be at Michigan, and the 2014 contest will be at Faurot field in Columbia Missouri.

This makes the 2013 Missouri Tigers OOC schedule quite difficult, with games in Athens and Ann Arbor, and hosting the Boise State Broncos, all in the first 6 weeks of the season. If Missouri is winning the national title next year, they are earning it, that is for certain
