Strictly from the talent standpoint, it's west PA and Pitt gets a handful of good players each year. They got a true freshman QB in Bostick who was highly rated but cost them the game today with a couple of pick six's. Then they got a five star RB in McCoy who was rated ahead of Beanie Wells that year. They got some talent to work with down the road, but it's highly unlikely they can do anything against WVU next week.

After watching this game, I am very confident in Sooner taking care of business.
Tony Temple got the lion's share of his yards off SHODDY tackling by the J-Hawks.
Mizzou's defense is good, not great.
Oklahoma's offense is amazing with Sam Bradford.
If Oklahoma comes with its head screwed on straight, I think they take care of business.

Tigers boost stock by ending Kansas' unbeaten season

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Unthinkable in September, Missouri is one victory from playing for its first national championship.
Chase Daniel threw for 361 yards and three touchdowns, and the third-ranked Tigers ruined No. 2 Kansas' unbeaten season last night with a 36-28 victory in the biggest game either school ever played.
As Big 12 North champions, the surprising Tigers (11-1, 7-1) will head to San Antonio on Saturday for a date in the Big 12 championship game with No. 10 Oklahoma, the only team to beat the Tigers this season. A victory there almost certainly will propel Missouri into the national championship game Jan. 7 in New Orleans.
"I'm excited about that, but we didn't get here thinking about it," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "You know, we had to win five straight games to have a chance to play in this one for the divisional championship. I'm just so proud of everybody."

I could argue that in the first game Mizzou actually had the game until two late turnovers gave Okla the chances they needed to win the game.
I also could argue that since they have played once then the game will come out the same.
I could argue that each team knows now what they must do to win.
I can argue that Oklahoma will have the confidence they need that they will win the game while Mizzou will have the pressure of knowing that they are behind the curve just knowing that Okla has beaten them .
This last one is the one I trust in.
GO SOONERS

In my opinion, the pressure is definetly on Missouri against Oklahoma.
