had Missouri won, based on BCS standings, they would have played for the national title.
had Michigan State won, since Mizzou was already higher, they most likely would have received the nod.
But an interesting debate would have been had both Sparty and Mizzou won, who would have had the better resume to go.
Sparty's only loss was by 4 to Notre Dame. Sparty defeated previously undefeated Ohio State for the Big Ten title.
Missouri had an OT loss to South Carolina, defeated Auburn which just got done defeating previously undefeated Alabama.
I know. Bunch of what ifs had Missouri won.

I thought they were way down the line.

I think the Tigers would have gone. They were #5, and MSU was #10. It was much harder to jump ahead of teams back then as it is now with the committee.

People like to joke that Mizzou took advantage of a down East, but in 2013 and 2014 Mizzou was 4-2 against the West, it's only losses coming in the SECCG. I thought the Alabama game was never close, I had hope about Auburn into the 4th quarter.
