Missouri was a sexy team this time last year, poised to shock the college football world and play for a national championship, and then it shit the bed against Oklahoma in the Big XII Championship. Now the boot is on the other foot, with the Sooners poised to punch their own ticket to Miami and a BCS title. All they have to do is avoid a meltdown in kind.

If the Sooners win, they're in, and they'll almost certainly face the winner of this Alabama-Florida game. If they lose, we have a week of true BCS Armageddon to look forward to. And when you head to that party, be sure to bring some marshmallows. I'll bring the beer.

See you tomorrow.
