that point (in early January) due to an extremely weak non-con. To remain undefeated through February, they would have had to beat several marquee ranked opponents in conference play, and would have eventually leapfrogged the 1-loss teams ahead of them.

We won’t win either, but if we win both then yes.(nm) - Carlos Rossi KC - 12/30 11:55:52

we wont win both. And I don't think we - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 10:51:35

That wasn't the question. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/30 11:26:11

no it wasn't. I just don't think we have shown - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 11:45:23

how do you explain our wins over Oregon and Illinois? (nm) - zounami MU - 12/30 12:08:37

a top 5 or 10 team is consistant. We are not. Top - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 12:20:31

I want to say I hope I'm wrong. I really want us - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 12:24:32

Probably depends on who else loses (nm) - TigerA MU - 12/30 08:55:43

Looking at the rankings, we would jump to at least #5, and - zounami MU - 12/30 08:58:39

That's not how it works - Bad Breath MU - 12/30 09:31:06

it depends - leapfrogging is possible if a team has a very - zounami MU - 12/30 11:25:45

Not a chance - Bad Breath MU - 12/30 11:29:47

wrong... an undefeated P5 team will eventually float to the - zounami MU - 12/30 11:32:44

Again, that's never happened before...but keep trying - Bad Breath MU - 12/30 11:52:47

Leapfrogging does not happen - Bad Breath MU - 12/30 12:38:00

The only time it might happen is if a team played #1 - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 12:48:18

a P5 team that runs the regular-season table will pass the - zounami MU - 12/30 13:43:57

How do you know this? That's not how the polls work - Bad Breath MU - 12/30 14:56:59

probably but if that happened they ran the table in - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 14:22:01

ha. Because almost all those teams lose at least one game - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 11:51:01

I think we lose both games - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/30 08:55:21

RE: I said the other day it falls on JT & Mark(nm) - oldtgr MU - 12/30 10:01:49

Against teams like Tennessee Mizzou has to have A games - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/30 10:14:21

that is close to a 0% chance. All those guys bringing - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 10:57:03

Oregon is probably the closest to that happening - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/30 11:02:28

The thing I saw in that game is we pushed the pace - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 11:42:11

Something other team controls the tempo - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/30 11:57:02

You are correct but sometimes it feels like we just - SabertoothTiger MU - 12/30 12:01:21

Mizzou has played a lot of teams that like to play slow - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/30 12:06:17

I would like to think we have a better shot at UT at home - MU-TULSA MU - 12/30 09:14:37

btw, did you think we'd lose to Illinois and Oregon? (nm) - zounami MU - 12/30 09:08:56

Illinois yes I thought Mizzou would lose. - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/30 09:12:23

They have someone bigger than 7'3" lol (nm) - showme NWMSU - 12/30 10:05:09

Tenn hasn't played Ill schedule. Play better D, but not as - Sigma MU - 12/30 09:58:30

Can't have early foul trouble from key players either - Eggs MU - 12/30 09:51:01

Refs in those games didn’t call contact at the rim - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/30 09:58:09

Yeah until they started giving Illinois the NBA superstar - Eggs MU - 12/30 10:04:35

Whether we win them wasn't the question. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/30 08:57:07

IF we win both, we will be ranked 5 to 7 (nm) - MOKE MU - 12/30 12:28:02
