Greg Anthony makes a great point that SOS should be used as a crutch more for deciding which teams get in the tournament than used for seeding top teams from power conferences.
Mizzou has beaten as many top 25 and 50 teams as any other top seed, so clearly we can play with the best.

Guess it depends on which rankings you're looking at... I look at Sagarin, since it lays out the 'vs Top 25' and 'vs Top 50' (in other words, for convenience, and not because I think it's THE ranking), and according to that one, other top teams had 7-8 wins vs the top 25, while MU had 4.
I'd be interested in knowing the record of the top 8 vs tournament teams.
