How mad would you have been if we hadn't lost to USCe

lost in the SEC title game, been 12-1, and get passed over by the sugar bowl for Alabama at 11-1? In retrospect, the USC loss literally didn't hinder us at all.

I've had enough to be pissed off about in my twenty years of Mizzou fandom that I'd prefer not to get mad about hypothetical situations.
I'd have been kinda pissed, though.

There is literally no debate that it would have happened. It would've made the 2007 BCS snub look fair.

Bama fan checking in to agree. It would (most likely) have happened that way. Bama laying an egg against Ok would have just made it worse.
It is always hard to lose in the SEC CG. Probably of little comfort that 12 other teams wished for the chance to lose. We have lost a couple of times with a chance to go to the Natty (lost several more that did not matter) but just getting there probably bodes well (at least that is what I told myself).

Yep. We learned the hard way in '07 when we got snubbed from the BCS for losing the Big 12 CG, in favor of the team we had just beat at a neutral site 2 weeks before.

Nah, to me that one was awful because they had the same record and had beaten them handily the week before. Bama and Mizzou hadn't played, didn't have many common opponents other than Auburn and both lost to them. Besides, making the Sugar Bowl would have been fun but Mizzou probably wouldn't have traveled as well to New Orleans as they did to Dallas.
One thing that would have helped about the SC loss/win is that Mizzou would have bought a boatload more tickets for the SECCG since our spot would have been secured by November 1st. The bad weather and only a week's notice kept a lot of fans away.
