Insight: Missouri over Nebraska ?

[VenturaAce]

I am trying to put myself in the Insight Bowl's shoes and figure out why they selected Missour over Nebraska, a year after they had little hope that Missouri would travel and they picked a 6-6 Iowa State that Mizzou beat head to head.

Nebraska carries significantly more clout, travels way better, beat Missouriy head to head and you can play up the same border war marketing spin that they would have with Iowa/Missouri. I just don't get it. Nebraska travels well through thick and thin, I'm sure they're reeling a bit after last night, but they will travel better than Mizzou regardless. Plus they have the Big Ten move and new rivalry and beat every one to it 11 months earlier. Thoughts?

B12 pushed hard for Missouri, kind of a "screw you" to Nebraska as they leave the B12...

Probably so all the talk during the game wouldn't be about the Big 10.

Perhaps Pelini's attitude turn off some of the bowl reps and sponsors.

Let's use Occam's Razor here and go with the simplest explanation...

They are just stupid.

I was really looking for the Big 12 screw job last night during the title game. I never expected it the day after. I have to admit, Beebe pulled it off pretty good. Just like watching old school WWF.
