Mizzou Links, 9-9-07

I kept reminding myself of a few things last night as I continued to feel a bit empty about the win...1) we won by more than I predicted (therefore we presumably played better than I thought we would); 2) we covered the spread again--if we do that every game, we'll go 10-2 or 11-1 because we're going to be favored in just about every game; 3) Cincinnati 34, Oregon State 3; 4) South Florida 26, Auburn 23; 5) California 34, Colorado State 28; 6) Texas A&M 47, Fresno State 45; 7) Northern Iowa 24, Iowa State 13; 8) Hawaii 45, Louisiana Tech 44; 9) SIU 34, NIU 31; 10) Wisconsin 20, UNLV 13. In other words, upset bids are happening everywhere you look, and we're 2-0. When crazy things are happening all over the country, a win really is a win.
