In this Big 12 Conference title game that have Oklahoma versus Missouri in the most important rematch this year. Each team has a lot to gain and also a lot to lose in this rematch on a neutral field. In the first match up during the regular season it was a gridiron war at Oklahoma's home field. Missouri lead Oklahoma 24-23 entering the 4th, but due to so costly turnovers by Missouri lost 31-41. This rematch is any ones game, no one has a true advantage in any part of the game.
Missouri is now ranked #1 with a dominating victory over previously #2 Kansas, that game previewed the new and improved Missouri Tigers lead by Heisman hopeful QB Chase Daniel and WR Jeremy Maclin. Against Kansas Chase Daniel CMP% was a amazing 81.6% and 361 passed yards. They are the only #1 with a lost who is able to correct that lost, and at the same time win the Big 12 Conference title. Without turnovers like in the last game the offense can definitely score when they need to. Their defense needs to show a lot of pressure and create turnovers of their own. But it won't be easy against the always tough Oklahoma. A win here is for redemption, Big 12 title, and a shot at the BCS title.
Oklahoma is now ranked #9 due to upset loses to Colorado and Texas Tech, but they are still the favorite in this conference title game and that makes #1 Missouri mad. Oklahoma is lead by Freshman QB Sam Bradford and WRs Malcolm Kelly and Juaquin Iglesias who together run one of the best offenses in the NCAA. Their game plan is the same as Missouri's. At this point Oklahoma cannot get a shot at the BCS title, but with a win here they can get in a BCS bowl game.
