from which an unranked team has to prove itself.

Illinois (which sucks) will still be ranked because they were highly ranked in the pre-season. Conversely, Mizzou (which appears to be Top 25-worthy) will have to claw its way up through the "receiving votes" before it cracks the Top 25, simply because it wasn't gifted with an pre-season ranking from the media.

The rankings should be much more dynamic and open to reshuffling early in the season.

               At least we made the tourney that year. We drew FSU in the - zounami MU - 12/4 09:54:13
          Looks like we fell out of the rankings first poll of Jan '04 - FIJItiger MU - 12/4 09:32:41
               we're shattering that record, thanks to the KA cratering (nm) - zounami MU - 12/4 09:34:39
          i.e. since KA was hired (nm) - zounami MU - 12/4 09:31:22

                                   Maybe as an assistant, but not associate head coach. (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 12/4 12:28:02
                                        Why would he go that route when he’s already - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 14:26:01
                                             He doesn't have to. Nor does MU have to go that route - FIJItiger MU - 12/4 14:44:23
                                                  See that’s the KA result clouding judgement - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 15:01:25
                                                       No. Different skill sets. D2 --> MU is not a proper - FIJItiger MU - 12/4 15:21:45
                                                            McCollum operates his program more like you - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 15:37:24
                                                                 Doesn't matter, he can't possibly succeed here - FIJItiger MU - 12/4 15:41:55
                                                                      KA will prevent it from happening - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 15:55:34
                                        Yeah... I'd be okay with that. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/4 12:49:56
                                   No more D2 coaches. Kim only took the job because no one - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 12/4 11:36:39
                                        There’s a lot wrong here - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 11:39:48
                                             Yes, but he's right that we should avoid D2 coaches like Kim - zounami MU - 12/4 11:42:43
                                                  There’s a lot of former D2 guys coaching D1 teams (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 11:44:27
                                                       We should not be a D-2 coach's first D-1 job for whatever - zounami MU - 12/4 11:48:33
                                                            His D1 assistant experience was also from a prior century(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 12/4 12:29:37
                                                            Because of KA it will probably never happen here - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 11:54:30
                                                                 Name some that moved directly from D2 to P6 - Sigma MU - 12/4 12:34:51
                                                                      I think Idaho State and Lipscomb hired D2 coaches - FIJItiger MU - 12/4 12:51:25

                                                                                Here’s a couple coaches off the top of my head that were D2 - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 13:27:46
                                                                                     No. You stated directly from D2. Changing the narrative??? - Sigma MU - 12/4 14:06:45
                                                                                     Bo Ryan didn't move directly from D2/D3 to P5... - zounami MU - 12/4 13:33:03
                                                                                          I never said they did. Just pointing out some names - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 13:38:10
                                                                                               You did say directly. Now you're moonwalking. - Sigma MU - 12/4 14:07:48
                                                                                                    When did I say that? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 14:11:55
                                        Agreed. No more losers from the D-2 ranks. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/4 11:39:22
                                             McCollum has lost 6 games in the last 4 years - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 11:43:45
                                                  Let him get some D-1 experience before we hire him at MU. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/4 11:51:54
                                                       He will probably never come here if that happens - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/4 11:55:54
                                                            That's a loser's mentality, wu. We need to aim high. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/4 12:16:03
