it's not just about losses, as much as we'd like to think that. if we don't have any "impressive" wins but team X does, we're at a disadvantage and potentially on the outside looking in.

SDS on Missouri’s High Wire Act, link - FentonMizzou MU - 10/1 08:08:25

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

- 10/1 13:26:15

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
