It’s clear many ranking didn’t see anything but the final score.

IF we had continued to shut out every team on the schedule, we’d be in the top five right now (top 3 if we weren’t saddled with the Mizzou name which apparently can be like being attached to an anvil.

My only real issue with the article - SatoriTiger JC - 10/1 12:25:39

I keep seeing we “squeaked by” BC. Yeah, - Gary P. MU

- 10/1 13:31:05

All true which means to make the playoffs we either have to - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 10/1 13:48:22

If last year is any indication, I don't think any 1 loss - JeffB MU

- 10/1 14:16:06

Weird how we were usually the highest ranked - Gary P. MU

- 10/1 16:32:06

Our SOS was supposedly 101st in the country? I wonder how - JeffB MU

- 10/1 16:58:54

I agree - SatoriTiger JC - 10/1 14:24:09

correct - meatiger MU - 10/1 14:17:14

If we have only one loss - meatiger MU - 10/1 14:06:39

i dont think OU will be an acceptable loss this year - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 14:00:21

lack of impressive wins could weigh on us as well. - phrejd KC - 10/1 13:50:06

Right now 'Bama and Sooner both look like quality wins. - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 10/1 13:57:14

i think they could have found a more flattering picture - phrejd KC - 10/1 12:44:29

It was only "not convincing" because of the last TD - SatoriTiger JC - 10/1 12:50:42

i don't disagree. just saying we could have removed doubt - phrejd KC - 10/1 13:37:50

I will disagree that a 13 point win would garner the same - SatoriTiger JC - 10/1 14:09:41

Exactly (nm) - Gary P. MU

- 10/1 13:31:44

We were a 3 and out away from BC having the ball - Uncle John MU

- 10/1 12:59:34

You’re reaching - Hickeytime MU

- 10/1 13:29:45

We were 144 and out from losing by 57 - SatoriTiger JC - 10/1 13:06:08

Those were my thoughts. It was a game until the end. (nm) - JeffB MU

- 10/1 13:01:41

2nd half stats - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 13:14:14

Stats don't win games, though. Had Cook slipped while - JeffB MU

C’mon now - don’t “ifs & buts” these thing. - Gary P. MU

- 10/1 13:36:00

we were 7-17 on 3rd down conversions to that point of the - JeffB MU

- 10/1 14:44:00

You sure? Team Stats tell a different story: - Gary P. MU

- 10/1 16:29:50

CBS Sports had us at 0-1 for 4th down conversions, but - JeffB MU

- 10/1 16:55:27

Play by play shows we went on 4th down 2 times in the BC gam - JeffB MU

- 10/1 17:11:19

So if something that didn't happen, happened - SatoriTiger JC - 10/1 13:30:56

My point was that those 3rd down conversions were not a - JeffB MU

- 10/1 13:35:25

Your point is still if something completely different - SatoriTiger JC - 10/1 13:39:24

Well it's pretty easy to look at the results of a game in - JeffB MU

- 10/1 13:45:20

go rewatch it.. The 2nd half was a snooze fest.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 13:09:08

but they never did have a chance to tie or take the lead - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 13:00:56

I sure wish they would have "wanted" to score that TD (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 10/1 13:22:59

we dominated the last 3 quarters vs BC.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 12:50:12

and BC just got a nice win with a backup QB - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 12:27:54

Did he have a similar article when UGA escaped from UK or - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/1 11:44:02

You think Vandy is going to be .500 in the SEC?(nm) - TheWildcat MU

- 10/1 12:04:36

the poster said no such thing or even hinted at it.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 12:14:50

Cant read?(nm) - TheWildcat MU

- 10/1 12:16:24

Vandy is a 2-2 SEC team. That is all they said. - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 12:17:15

I thought he was insinuating that they would be a .500 SEC - TheWildcat MU

- 10/1 12:18:50

There’s a difference between having 1 game like that and - alwaysright MU - 10/1 11:51:08

but one was a ranked team, not a scrub.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 12:15:07

It was still an ugly WTF type game against a - alwaysright MU - 10/1 19:37:59

All true - alwaysright MU - 10/1 11:32:46

Just win on Saturday. Problem solved.(nm) - Carlos Rossi KC - 10/1 11:21:42

It all depends on QB play - BigDave MU - 10/1 10:42:17

And he's going to have to start getting off that first read - Eggs MU - 10/1 10:50:23

Have to play a complete game for a change - mu7176grad MU - 10/1 10:14:50

No worries. Time to open up the playbook - samclemens MU

- 10/1 09:40:59

Why wouldn't practicing those plays in - GA Tiger MU - 10/1 10:36:26

Pretty dumb. Just about every ranked team has played - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 09:40:20

Not really. Look at the teams ranked ahead of us - alwaysright MU - 10/1 11:39:47

Penn State dropped below us after their close call with - TheWildcat MU

- 10/1 09:48:49

and Oregon dropped 5 or 6 spots after their close calls (nm) - zounami MU - 10/1 16:46:07

Bowling Green may be halfway decent too - Eggs MU - 10/1 09:56:19

we were punished twice and one was against a ranked - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 09:53:13

The playoff rankings are all that matter - Eggs MU - 10/1 10:06:26

I agree but discussion is discussion.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 10/1 11:54:34

And if we are undefeated Nov 5, we are prob #1. Lol (nm) - TheWildcat MU

- 10/1 10:11:55

And probably in comfortably with 1 loss at that time - Eggs MU - 10/1 10:13:15

We are a top ten team now(nm) - meatiger MU - 10/1 09:54:08

We are fine on rankings - meatiger MU - 10/1 09:43:07

Miami lucked out at the end of the gm to beat Tech, but they - MU-TULSA MU - 10/1 09:42:39

they dropped in one poll - meatiger MU - 10/1 09:44:23

tough, but fair so far(nm) - meatiger MU - 10/1 09:27:52

All fair IMO(nm) - TheWildcat MU
