With such a potentially large game looming, let's look at what others sources have to say about Missouri, Nebraska, and Saturday's showdown at Faurot: -- CBS Sportsline takes Mizzou over NU, by a count of 4 writers to 1. -- ESPN.com pitches in a game preview with statistical comparisons. -- Scout.com breaks down the game and like Mizzou by a 41-27 final. I guess 41-24 is too cliche... --

This week, our friends over at Clone Chronicles have been kind enough to host the Big 12 Round Table, focusing this time on the "Rise of the North." Were Saturday's games a sign that the Big 12 North may be on its way back? -- I think it was a combination of the rebirth of the North mixed with a down year for certain teams in the South. Teams like Colorado and Kansas State are certainly on their

After a thrilling weekend both in college football and in Missouri athletics, one of the most anticipated weeks in Missouri football history is finally upon us. After a weekend that afforded me the opportunity to witness thrilling wins over No. 4 Texas A&M in women's soccer and over No. 25 Oklahoma in volleyball, I walked by a lit Faurot Field shortly after 9:00 last night and couldn't help but

Our friends over at Crimson and Cream Machine have once again assembled the masses with a Big 12 Round Table, this time to discuss the state of the conference. 1.

But this time, none of my own: College football guru/god Phil Steele has predictions on how every team will finish conference play. And for those too scared to click - be not afraid. He comes bearing great news. ADDENDUM: Latest BlogPoll has Mizzou at No. 20, one spot behind Texas A&M. Nebraska drops out of Top 25.

Considering I'm having serious motivation issues in regards to thoroughly researching Illinois State, I opted to start browsing around bowl projections and looking at the advantages and disadvantages of certain scenarios for the Tigers: -- CBS Sportsline has an all too common matchup: Missouri/UCLA in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27.

The poll watch begins... -- 10:41 am: Mizzou may have a leg up in the online BlogPoll, where Missouri entered the weekend at No. 25. The Sunday Morning Quarterback didn't have many great things to say about the Tigers before Western Michigan: "Missouri just makes me pause. The Tigers have beaten two BCS conference teams, but it was Illinois and Ole Miss, two of the worst, most mid-major-like of

The Tigers returned home Saturday and took care of business against Western Michigan, defeating the Broncos by a final of 52-24. Overall, the Tigers looked pretty solid, and it's hard to complain about a 28-point home win and a 3-0 record. That said, it's time for a little game ETS likes to call "Good, Bad, and Indifferent." Away we go: GOOD: -- Jeremy Maclin: The X-factor was once again a

In lieu of a Q&A with a Western Michigan blogger, I defaulted to the next best thing: Western Michigan propaganda, er, PR game notes. -- Missouri is WMU's third BCS conference opponent. The Broncos lost to West Virginia, 62-34, and to Indiana, 37-27. -- In the all-time series between the two teams, Missouri is 1-0 against WMU, taking a 48-34 win in Columbia back in 1999. -- Four WMU football
