Nebraska has fallen from the elite and will not get back there anytime soon.

Times have changed bigtime.

It takes time to rebuild a program with a new coach. Don't expect miracles the first year. Pelini has taken them pretty far considering where they were last year.

Before the season started, I thought if Pellini got them to a bowl it would be a good coaching job.

Obviously they're not elite. If they were elite they would be 7 point favorites at home. You don't have to be elite to cover 10 points at home, just not terrible. From what I've seen from them today they are a bad, bad team. They'll be right back up again in a few years though.

Still not sold on Mizzou too. They'd get beat by double digits against Texas and OU on a neutral field.

Sorry but no. They would/will hand Texas an ass woopin. They will have to outscore OU but they are better than last year. I would not be surprised to see Missouri in the National Championship game. They do not have a great defense but it is good enough. They may have the best offense in football.

most of us knew this before deciding not to put money on them...all of the so called "rebuilding" done in the callahan era has to now be rebuilt...this is a proud tradition school that most certainly will be back...someday

They dont get the California athletes anymore. They better change that soon or expect a 7 win team from now on. Shit watch out Kansas doesnt pass them by for good.

Don't be surprised if Mizzou gets beat by OSU next week...You heard it here first.

All Callahan did was recruit offensive players-and their defense shows that.

It's going to take a few years.

So you think OSU is suddenly going to find a defense by next week. I respect your knowledge more than anyone on this site, especially on the Big 12. But, the ONLY way you can think this scenario plays out is thinking Missouri is in a let down and look ahead spot before going to Texas. You can ask anyone from Columbia or anyone who follows this team closely. The mental makeup of this team isn't like most teams in the country. They are playing with a HUGE chip on their shoulders after Kansas getting their spot in a BCS game last year. If your reasoning is something else I would really like to hear it because apperently I've over looked something. G/L

OSU is playing for survival in a tougher division. If Missouri loses, well, there is Iowa St, Kansas, KSU, etc in their division. OSU loses, they still have OU, Texas, T Tech and have to sweep them. I'm sure there could be a little let down after winning in Lincoln. Pretty comparable talent, hard not to take any available points with OSU. The over is a given too.

I agree about the over but I think it will be too big a number to bet. I'm not saying OSU won't cover because I think the line will be in the DD. I disagree greatly that the talent is about the same, especially on offense. This is the best offense in the nation, PERIOD. Pinkel pulled the starters on offense for most of the 4th quarter. They could have easily put up another 14 points but Pinkel doesn't like to run up the score. That's the only reason the O/U was still in play at the end of the game. The ONLY team that has a chance of slowing them down (holding them under 30) is Oklahoma. Until Missouri can beat Oklahoma I will say that Oklahoma is the better team, because of their defense. I'm telling you people, just ask any good handicapper that Missouri is the team that they know best and they will tell you the same thing. They are playing EVER game with a chip on their shoulder and are a very focused team. If they get beat it won't be because they are in a look ahead spot or not focused.
