It's not a matter of intestinal fortitude... it's a matter of being logical.

I'm pretty sure MSU and St. Louis are both higher in the RPI rankings than Mizzou is. They should be, they're both in or near the bubble for tourney bids. In reality you just don't want to face the embarrassment of not being the top in-state school. You can come out and say it.
