As a Big XII fan, I'm still a little ticked that Mizzou, with the better record got left out of the picture despite the fact that they had actually beaten Illinois.

We definitely got a break with the upward movement of Ohio in the polls. (Which I realize was controversial.) Ohio even thought they were the ones going to the Rose Bowl, and I was happy we were just getting a shot at a "good" bowl game at all. Considering it had been since 2001 we had gone anywhere, and with our low performing seasons recently, my thinking went from "let's just get a winning season" to "we're going to have a post season!" to..."we may go to a BCS bowl?!?" Whoo hoo!!
Gift horse comes to mind, and I'm just thankful our seniors (and Mendenhall) were able to have a January football experience for their last year in orange and blue.
For what it's worth, I think Mizzou should have been in over KU too.
