Top of the SEC Gains Clarity After Crucial Results, Eye of the Tiger, Week 11
The No. 24 Missouri Tigers never fail to entertain. At this point in the season, a wild finish from this Tigers team, regardless of the opponent, is expected.
Across the college football world, the College Football Playoff picture is getting more clear for most teams. Oregon, Indiana and Ohio State appear to reign supreme at the top of the Big 10, BYU remains the only undefeated team in the Big 12 and Boise State and Army look like the two contenders for the group of five squad to sneak into the playoff. The SEC and ACC, however, still look murky.
It might take a hail mary and some help from other teams, but it doesn’t look like Missouri is quite out of the playoff hunt yet. The Tigers must win out in order to do so and will need one of Alabama, Georgia, or Ole Miss to secure its third loss. Even with those hypothetical results, the Tigers could still miss out. The final three games on the Tigers’ schedule will be the test for whether they can do it or not.
South Carolina: 28-7 win over Vanderbilt
Mississippi State: 33-14 loss to No. 7 Tennessee
Arkansas: Bye week
Next week’s matchup on the road against the South Carolina Gamecocks for Missouri now looks like the most important game of the season. The Gamecocks have now won three in a row, featuring victories over Oklahoma and Texas A&M. LaNorris Sellers is proving himself to be a legitimate SEC quarterback and running back Rocket Sanders is looking like one of the most talented in the country.
On the flip side, the Mississippi State Bulldogs look like one of the worst Power 5 teams in the nation. Under the helm of true freshman quarterback Michael Van Buren and a lackluster supporting cast on offense and defense, the Bulldogs have yet to win a conference game. The outlook doesn’t look sunny in that category quite yet, with Van Buren and his offense in need of a dire turnaround to win its last two games. They close the season with Missouri and Ole Miss, which is no easy feat for a struggling team.
The Arkansas Razorbacks had the perfect week for a bye week after getting destroyed by Ole Miss. They face the top-five Texas Longhorns and Louisiana Tech before facing Missouri, with the out-of-conference Bulldogs appearing as the most winnable matchup down the stretch. The Razorback offense had shown flashes of brilliance so far this season and could be a lot for Missouri, and even Texas, to handle if all goes well.
No Missouri wins got any better or worse this week, outside of the Boston College Eagles. They improved to 5-4 after beating Syracuse without quarterback Thomas Castellanos. Running backs Kye Robichaux and Jordan McDonald combined for over 300 yards rushing to take down the Orange in an important victory on bowl implications.
The Alabama Crimson Tide, who boat-raced Missouri at Bryant-Denny Stadium, took down the LSU Tigers on the road. Losing to Alabama was never going to look bad for Missouri and a blowout win over LSU helped that case even more. The fashion of that loss, however, is what makes it ugly on the resume.
No. 21 Washington State: 49-28 win over Nevada
No. 22 Louisville: Bye week
No. 23 Clemson: 24-14 win over Virginia Tech
No. 25 Army: 14-3 win over North Texas
The Miami Hurricanes’ loss to Georgia Tech in the late stages of its game throws a wrench in the ACC, opening it up for SMU and Clemson to have a shot to win. Those two squads, alongside Miami, have as good a shot as any to win the conference and solidify a CFP birth.
Oregon and Ohio State continue to sit pretty atop the Big 10, but an interesting matchup between the Buckeyes and No. 8 Indiana is set up next week to shift the scales of the conference and College Football Playoff Rankings. Penn State isn’t out of the race either with an easy schedule in the back half of its schedule.
Boise State and Army look primed for competition for the group of five playoff spots. An Ashton Jeanty-led Broncos squad continues to take down Mountain West opponents, but the margins of victory have been significantly smaller in recent weeks. The same can’t be said for Army, who continue to win by at least two scores and remain undefeated.
The Washington State Cougars, ranked No. 21 in the country, have a fascinating situation on their hands. They technically are in the Pac-12 but because of the lack of teams in the conference, do not qualify as a conference champion. They also can not make it as a group of five team, so the Cougars’ only chance of making it in is to be in the top-12. That’s not impossible, but finding a resume-building win in the final three games looks unlikely.
Missouri’s College Football Playoff hopes are as much in its own hands as the rest of the college football universe. They will not make it if they don’t win out the rest of the season, but getting help from the rest of the top-12 schools would make a difference, whether it’s in the SEC or outside of it.

Summary:
- Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments on constitutionality of airport property tax valuation statute.
- Case involves valuation of Marriott hotel at Kansas City International Airport.
- Platte County assessor argues statute creates special tax advantage for airport properties.
- Missouri State Tax Commission reduced hotel’s valuation from $13.45 million to about $6.14 million.
The Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments Feb. 10 in a case challenging how a hotel at Kansas City International Airport was valued for property tax purposes and whether a state statute allowing deductions for airport property improvements is constitutional.
The dispute centers on the valuation of the Marriott Hotel located at Kansas City International Airport and whether a provision in Section 137.115.1 of state law improperly reduces the taxable value of certain airport properties.
At issue is a challenge by the Platte County assessor and the Park Hill School District to a decision by the Missouri State Tax Commission that resulted in a lower valuation for the 2016 tax year.
The assessor was represented during arguments by Stephen E. Magers, an attorney for Platte County in Platte City; Grady Hotel Investments was represented by Peter A. Corsale of McCarthy, Leonard & Kaemmerer in Town & Country.
Magers argued the statute effectively creates a special class of property that receives favorable tax treatment.
“This case concerns a truly novel item of the Missouri statutes,” he said. “It stands alone as the only statute within the entirety of the Missouri framework that gives a certain set of taxpayers a tax advantage of having real property located within an airport receive a deduction for new construction and improvements.”
The property at issue is a Marriott hotel located on land owned by Kansas City within the boundaries of Kansas City International Airport. The city leases the land to a private operator.
In 2015, Grady Hotel Investments purchased the prior operator’s interest in the property for about $8.5 million. As part of the transaction, Grady entered into an amended lease and concession agreement with the city and committed to making capital improvements to repair and renovate the property.
For the 2016 tax year, the Platte County assessor valued Grady’s interest in the hotel at approximately $13.45 million. After the county board of equalization upheld that valuation, Grady appealed to the Missouri State Tax Commission.
The commission initially set the hotel’s assessed value at zero using the “bonus value” methodology for leasehold interests, but the Missouri Court of Appeals Western District later reversed that ruling and remanded the case. On remand, the commission ultimately determined the hotel’s “true value in money” was about $6.14 million. The commission reached that figure after deducting the value of personal property included in the purchase and approximately $1.2 million in costs paid toward new construction and improvements made after 2008, as permitted under Section 137.115.1.
Magers argued that the statute operates as an unconstitutional tax break for properties located within airport boundaries.
“At its core, what the statute does is create a special kind of property that receives a reduction to its value based on new construction and improvements spent toward such possessory interests in real property,” said Magers.
He also said the provision treats airport properties differently from other commercial properties.
“A homeowner doesn’t get a reduction to their value when they get a new roof on their property,” he said. “But for property that is located within an airport boundary that undertakes new construction or improvements, there is a deduction to that value that the statute mandates.”
Corsale countered that the statute does not create a tax exemption but instead establishes a permissible method for valuing certain types of property.
“To me the answer is no. This is a method of valuation,” he said, arguing that the Missouri Constitution gives the legislature authority to determine how property is valued for tax purposes.
Judge Mary R. Russell questioned whether the deduction could potentially reduce a property’s value to zero if improvements continue over time.
“But couldn’t it be, at some point, a perpetual exemption,” she said, noting the statute allows deductions regardless of when improvement costs were incurred.
Corsale said the improvements ultimately revert to the city when the lease ends.
“What we are dealing with is a private company improving public land that eventually reverts back to the public,” he said. “At the conclusion of the lease, the public gets the benefit of whatever money they put into this property.”
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – A viewer named Donna asked KY3’s Fact Finders whether it is legal for tow trucks with emergency lights to run through a red light. The answer is yes, but with conditions.
Missouri law states that any wrecker or tow truck may proceed past a red stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down as necessary for safe operation.
What the law requires
Three conditions must be met for a tow truck driver to proceed through a red light legally: the driver must be responding to an emergency call, must slow down or stop to confirm the intersection can be crossed safely, and must have at least one lighted lamp displaying a red light visible from 500 feet to the front of the vehicle while also sounding an audible signal such as a siren or bell.
Terry Harden of Terry’s Towing said tow truck drivers can legally be treated the same as other emergency vehicles.
“You really could be treated just like a police car, fire truck, ambulance,” Harden said.
Not every call warrants running a red light
Harden said he uses judgment when deciding whether to exercise that legal right.
“If you call me for a jump start, don’t mean I’m going to run red lights and sirens to get to your jump start,” Harden said.
Dispatchers sometimes instruct drivers to respond quickly to emergency crash scenes, Harden said.
“They want you to be there faster than fast. It says, expedite, expedite. And that’s fine. I will expedite it,” Harden said.
