Of course Mizzou will get stuck on the 8/9 line.
Stuck behind a half dozen teams they beat. Oftentimes badly. I believe I saw that they're one of like 5 teams in the country with 5 Q1 wins and no Q2 or worse losses? The other 4 are all projected to be top 3 seeds. I think the last week grew that list by a little bit but we're still talking fewer than 10 teams with that many quality wins and ZERO bad losses on their resume this year. But we've gotten so far up our own asses with this bracketology shit. Suddenly beating the 200th ranked team in the country hurts worse than beating the 100th ranked team in the country even though BOTH of those teams are gone to lose if you they play a quality opponent who doesn't step on its dick. Once you get outside the top 100 you're multiplying by 0. They're all rummies but these goddamn Kenpom things want to pretend like there's a vast distinction there. Mizzou's gonna get ****ed. They're going to get stuck in some brutal bracket where if they're LUCKY they manage to get a 2 seed in the 2nd round but in all probability they're just going to get steamrolled by a 1 seed instead of getting a legitimate shot to demonstrate that they're a genuine Sweet 16 caliber squad. It's just horseshit.

You would think so. And I'm hoping for a 6 or better. But most bracket projections are inexplicably placing them as an 8 seed, give or take a spot. It makes no sense. Just like the Tennessee ranking that I talked about. They should not be ranked higher. But, those rankings are based on polls, so I guess that since Mizzou is in year one with Gates and being a good team, the poll voters aren't giving them any credit for what they've accomplished.

Yeah. They did get handled by the Gheyhawks. The Aggies and Auburn beat them pretty good too. But they beat Illinois and Kentucky by double digits and had a total of 5 Q1 wins. So it's not like they did poorly outside of that non conference schedule. I just think that an 8 seed is a big middle finger to the Tigers.

Mizzou is #4 seed in SEC and would likely face #5 seed Tennessee in quarterfinal.
If Mizzou wins that game, I would expect # 6 seed. Mizzou has an opportunity to improve their seeding in tournament but has to earn it.

Beating the 100th team in the country and beating the 200th team in the country is little more than mathmatical masturbation. They're both bad basketball teams. Y'all wanna act like there's some significant distinction between beeting Colorado State and Howard because of how they ranked. There isn't. Neither of those teams are going to beat a quality opponent when the opponent plays well and both of those teams CAN beat a quality opponent if they don't. It's a distinction without a difference. It's multiplying by zero. And every team has some 'phew' wins on their record - they balance out in the wash. I'm not saying they should be a 3 seed. But that's a team that should be no worse than sitting between a 6/7 based on the quality of their wins and lack of losses to poor opponents. The rest is just jerking off to spreadsheets.

That doesn't wash. You can't say "Oh well sure, Iowa St got boat raced by Mizzou, but that's a quality team so we'll move them from 9th to 12th..." then on the flipside say "eh, Mizzou was 38th, we'll move 'em to 36th..." That seems to put very little 'quality' in the opponent. This just isn't ratcheting both ways for Mizzou.

Mizzou is also 5-8 in Quad 1. Tennessee is 7-6. Tennessee has played a tougher schedule. |
