Just like that, the great chase is over. Chase Daniel's #1 ranked Missouri Tigers have been dethroned by the #9 Oklahoma Sooners 38-17. Missouri's title hopes have evaporated just as fast as Chase Daniel's quest for the Hesiman Trophy.
Missouri is 11-0 versus anyone not named Oklahoma. Missouri lost to Oklahoma earlier in the year when leading running back Tony Temple did not play due to injury. However, this time there was no excuse. Temple had 13 carriers for a hard-fought 26 yards. The game was played at a neutral site and each team had its main players on the field. Missouri was simply outmatched tonight. Chase Daniel did not throw a touchdown pass, but did manage to throw a costly interception. Missouri could not keep Oklahoma out of the end zone, as the Sooners managed to score 5 touchdowns and a total of 38 points.
Chase, hopefully you enjoyed your moment of fame the past few weeks. Amid all the hype of being on all major sports magazine covers the past week, a win against Oklahoma was necessary to quiet all critics over a soft schedule. Daniel's bid for a Heisman Trophy is over. However, Daniel's Tigers will put forth a great fight in whatever bowl they play this January.
Meanwhile, the Chase for who should play in the BCS title game has just begun.

Missouri got ripped off at a chance to play in a BCS bowl. They beat Kansas and somehow Kansas gets in ahead of them. I feel sorry for Mizzu.
No one should say mizzou got ripped off by not getting a BCS berth. they should've won against oklahoma. they were ranked #1 and had the hottest player in the country and they couldnt get it done.
