Not only was Missouri ranked higher (#6) than Kansas (#8) in the final BCS rankings, but Mizzou also beat KU 36-28 in the infamous 2007 Border War where both teams were ranked in the Top 3. However, the then-top-ranked Tigers lost to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship while the Jayhawks sat idle.
The Jayhawks ended up winning the Orange Bowl against Virginia Tech while the Tigers, who were bumped out of a BCS bowl, routed Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl Classic.
Would love to hear from those who know more about the situation than myself. Thanks.
