It has great potential to take a dominant position among the game's elite. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bob Stull has heard all the theories about Missouri being the sleeping giant of college football. These days, with the Tigers foundering again, it is a theory that comes often to some fans' minds. Stull doesn't disagree, although some of the theory's most vocal supporters happen to be some of his most irksome critics. Despite poor record Missouri has potential The Associated Press The tough part, said Stull, is getting the program headed back in the right direction. Unless the 1-3-1 Tigers make a dramatic turnaround the next few weeks, Missouri will have gone nine straight years without a winning season since Warren Powers was fired in 1984. "It's going to take 80 percent of the effort to get to where you have a winning record and get to a bowl game," Stull said. "If that happens, it will take 20 percent of the effort to keep it going. Right now, you need a winning season and going to a bowl. Then it could feed on itself." Although they're back home this week, Stull's Tigers were 2½-point underdogs to the revitalized Oklahoma State Cowboys, 3-2 overall and 0-1 Big Eight. All the home teams are favored in this week's other Big Eight games. No. 6 Nebraska, 5-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play, was a four-touchdown nod over the unbeaten Kansas State Wildcats, 5-0 and 1-0. No. 9 Oklahoma, 5-0 and 1-0, was favored by five points over No. 20 Colorado, 3-2 and 1-0, and Kansas, 2-4 and 0-1, was a six-point favorite over Iowa State. 1-4 and 0-1. Frustrated Missouri fans find it particularly galling that Oklahoma State, Kansas and Kansas State have made such dramatic progress the past five years. Oklahoma State has even had time to recover from being punished by NCAA sanctions, fielding one of the most talented young teams in the Big Eight this year just two seasons after bottoming out at 0-10-1. Although Kansas has struggled this year, the Jayhawks broke a 30-year bowl victory drought last season. Kansas State goes into its game at Nebraska with a 5-0 record. New baseball playoff format changes face of pennant race By Ronald Blum By Ronald Blum The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — The Braves found out that 104 victories don't necessarily get you to the World Series. Next year, when baseball's playoffs expand from four teams to eight, there will be more chances for big upsets. "It will make the playoffs more intense," Bud Selig, chairman of baseball's ruling executive council, said yesterday, a day after Atlanta was eliminated in six games by the Philadelphia Phillies. "While people have said this may be the last great playoffs race, I don't believe that." The Braves went 104-58, the most victories since the 1986 New York Mets. But six months of work came apart in four days, when they went from a 2-1 series lead to a 4-2 loss. Next year, there will be three divisions each qualifier will play a best-of-5 series just to get to a league championship. "It's going to be a very intense series because every game puts you more in a jeopardy," Phillies president Bill Giles said. Giles and John Harrington of the Boston Red Sox were the biggest advocates of an expanded postseason, which will stretch to four weeks next year. "Ithink it's important the playoffs have this change," Phillies manager Jimm Fregosi said. "Years ago, there were 16 clubs. Now we have 28. Soon it'll be 30. I think it's important for more clubs to get this excitement we had." If these were the old days, before the split into divisions in 1969, the Phillies would have finished seven games behind the Braves at 97-65. "When you win 100 games in a season, that is a super ballclub," Fregosi said. "The last time I won a division championship (with California in 1979), we won 88 games." Braves general manager John Schuerholz said that there was nothing anybody can do about a short series. Selig said he felt bad that the Giants weren't in the playoffs this year. They went 103-59 and finished one game behind Atlanta in the NL West. He also understands that teams with outstanding regular seasons could lose in the first round next year. "If you have the best players, that's the botton line," he said. "You get the best players." "Once the playoffs start, hey look, that's true in any playoff system," he said. "But somehow, good teams do all right in the playoffs." Owners and the Players Association haven't agreed on the expanded playoffs, partially because they haven't agreed how to divide the additional revenue. They also must decide how to break ties for both spots in the playoffs and which teams receive the extra home games. "The proposal we made is that if you're tied for a position to get in the first round, you would have a playoff game," Giles said. "If you are already automatically into the playoffs, and you're just determining where you are, you would go by the records against each other, how you performed against the team you're tied with. Then you would go by record within the division." The morning after the Phillies big win, Giles was glowing. It's easy to like the new system when your team has beaten an opponent that had seven more victories during the regular season.
