It goes without saying, but the Illinois game is huge. This is the game that will be a thorn in the side of whichever team that loses, come BCS bid time. If Willy Mo is healthy and we get solid all-around play from the defense, I think MU comes away with the win. The offense will find ways to score. I'm looking forward to seeing more of a running game this year, and I think we'll see that right out of the gate vs. ILL. The Texas game in Austin worries me.
I'm thinking 11-1 (loss to UT), and Big 12 champs if we get Texas or Texas Tech at Arrowhead. If it's Oklahoma, we could be staring down a repeat of last year - BCS (title?) game at stake against Oklahoma. Maybe its still a bad taste from last year, but I don't like the odds in a Big 12 title rematch.
