Mizzou gets passed over for a better bowl for the third straight year.
In 2007, Mizzou was 11-2 after losing to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship Game. Then the Orange Bowl took 11-1 Kansas, who Mizzou had beaten TWO weeks earlier.
In 2008, Mizzou was the Big 12 North Champion and had beaten Nebraska head-to-head, but was passed over for the better bowl (at least this one is justifiable).
Now in 2009, Mizzou was 8-4, beat Iowa State in Week 10, but for whatever reason the Insight Bowl took 6-6 Iowa State instead. Now Mizzou is in the Texas Bowl.
On one hand, who cares? The money is the same (except travel expenses) and the Insight Bowl is a joke anyway, but it just goes to show that the system is flawed.
