You'll have a high as shit Pomeroy if your in a shit conference, play a cupcake non-con and beat the shit out of teams.
Missouri has a SOS in the mid 30s to low 40s, so they played a good enough schedule even though the non con was relatively easy.
I don't care what some advanced stats says about the D, because that shouldn't have any bearing in seeding.

Which is a good thing for Mizzou, given they’d be in the last 4 in via either system.
They use Q1 as their top criteria. If a team doesn’t distinguish itself there - and Mizzou 2-6 record didnt - they have to move to other metrics. SOS was in the 50s as well via both systems.
TLDR: there’s no data point that would suggest a 5 seed.
