Mizzou was #21, which is outstanding for them.
Unfortunately, Oklahoma (#7) and Texas (#3) brought in great classes again, so it seems like the best we can hope for over the next few years is to win the Big-12 North, and then get stomped in the conference championship game like in '07 and '08.
I have mixed emotions about the talk of Mizzou leaving the Big-12 and going to the Big-10. I would hate to see the old Big-8 rivalries broken up, but I do think their chances at winning a conference championship in football would improve a little. After all, they actually brought in a higher ranked class than Ohio State this year.
