On the assumption that the B12 referees will be sidelined from these games the league at least has a shot.....

OU, by the way, under the above scenario is screwed.

one of the things that matters is match ups, and one of the things that affects match up is a team from the conference making the playoffs
last year the B1G went a perfect 7-1 in bowl games, what contributed to that was OSU not getting into the playoffs and therefore every team slides down on step on the bowl hierarchy.

If OU didn't make the Alabama bowl, then every team in the Big XII (in theory) would have an easier game.

I've seen a couple of places that the Orange Bowl will be officiated by ACC refs.  I doubt the grab and tackle pass blocking technique of OU's line is going to fly.

West Virginia the only team favored to win their matchup. 

OU +14.5

TX +11.5

OSU +8

ISU +4.5

BU +4

TCU - PK

WVa -5

When’s the last time our conference had such a shitty outlook for bowl games?  

Thanks for going to the trouble of listing the opponents.

I don't know if we'll skullfuck them, but two things make me thing we could win: (1) This year's team seemed to play to the level of the opponent.  Mizzou is ranked and pretty decent, so I think "good OSU" shows up. (2) Gundy teams, in general, typically show up and play pretty well in bowl games (we're 8-4 in bowl games under Gundy).

You left out another decent reason why you'll probably win:

 

Missouri is a bunch of dumbass losers.

That'll be $9.95.

I’m not getting Missouri favored by 8 over OSU. Someone tell me what I’m missing.

An opportunity to make a lot of money.

That’s what I’m worried about. Whenever I see a line I think is out of wack I want to know what I’m possibly missing. It does tend to happen during bowl season more often than anywhere else though.

Grier isnt playing so I'm guessing WVU won't be favored for long.

Last I saw they are favored by 1.5

It looks like some bowls, are bagging themselfs out of clientele:

 

Everyone outside of Texas, Oklahoma, and Iowa State are locks.  Bet the house.  TCU hung with Ohio State and isn't losing to hapless California.  Baylor isn't losing to the nerd school from the SEC.

I still think we'll win because fuck Georgia.

I don't have a ton of faith but hope OU beats Alabama only to get skullfucked in the finale.

It's hard to pick between Big 12 Iowa State and Mike Leach.

The TCU that played Ohio State tough isn't the same team they are now.

And Cal isn't hapless.

Don't kid yourself.... if B12 only wins 1 or 2 games.... ESPN will dawg the B12 every chance they get when they post their BOWL CHALLENGE CUP STANDINGS... during each Bowl Game this Year.  

Last Year they criticised the PAC-12 for 1-8 results....

Here's Last Season's Results:

Bowl Challenge Cup winner Big Ten
Bowl record by conference
Conference Bowls Record Final AP Poll
SEC 11 5–6 (0.455) 5
ACC 10 4–6 (0.400) 4
Conference USA 9 4–5 (0.444) 0
Pac-12 9 1–8 (0.111) 3
Big Ten 8 7–1 (0.875) 5
Big 12 8 5–3 (0.625) 3
American 7 4–3 (0.571) 3
Mountain West 6 3–3 (0.500) 1
MAC 5 1–4 (0.200) 0
Sun Belt 5 4–1 (0.800) 0
Independents 2 2–0 (1.000) 1
   
   

If I was a gambler I would bet the house that the Big XII wins more than 1 or 2 of these games.

Missouri’s Massey composite ranking is #15, OSU’s is #48.

But for two pretty bizarre flukey losses to South Carolina and Kentucky, Missouri would be ranked #9 in the country while OSU lost to Tech (by a lot), Kansas State (by a lot), Baylor, and TCU.

Bizarrely, we also beat Texas, West Virginia, Boise State, and were a missed (wide open) 2-point conversion away from beating OU in Norman.

Mizzou is better and should be favored, but we've basically played to the level of our competition all year long. I'm betting it's a close game.

I still think 8 points for Missouri is too much. I would think more like 3 or so. Definitely one to at least take a look at.

Mizzou has one win of note: Florida. Between the two games you mentioned and ass kickings at the hands of Bama and Georgia, I think it's more appropriate to call that win a fluke. Mizzou is not good.

So they have the same number of wins of note as Texas?

Which has what to do with the mizzou/osu bowl game?

It has to do with them being “not good”, unless we’re saying Texas is also not good.

I already explained why I think the line looks about right.

Texas has defeated two teams in the CFP/AP Top 25: Iowa State and OU. We also have not been blown out by any team.

So I don't know why you're trying to equate Texas to Missouri.

Mizzou is similar to aggy this year, except with a better passing attack. They can stuff the run and create some pressure, but their secondary is suspect. That game should be a shootout, weather permitting.

Wrong.  And you are an asshole.

hell your kicker missed a PAT, should not have had to go for two.

We'd fuck up Missouri. Again.

If the bowls would just say,  “The winner of each bowl gets all the money for that bowl”. Now that would be some entertaining death match shit!

Missouri by 9 was insane. I know Vegas is smart but come on. Fuck Missouri.
