Missouri and Kansas #1/2 in all major polls
The end of November cannot get here soon enough as the annual Border War once again promises to have national championship implications.
In 2007 and 2013 the winner of this game was a front runner for the national championship game. This year however winning the Border War won't be good enough, because if both teams win this upcoming weekend they will have a rematch for the Big XII Title two weeks later! Which means whoever losers still has a shot at a BCS Bowl game, and possibly the national championship!
