Why is everyone ranking West Virginia over Missouri? The only top 25 team they have beaten is Rutgers (ranked 25 at the time). The Mountaineers' one loss to South Florida is not looking as good now.



[/ QUOTE ]an hour after i ranked west virginia ahead of missouri i took a look at it and started questioning it. i remember saying to myself that they should really be tied at this point. both are solid

Re: Week 10 Rank\'em
 

I don't think WV is that good. I would put them behind BC, and certainly behind Mizzou.

Re: Week 10 Rank\'em
 

why exactly does ASU drop below BC in the BCS after losing to oregon while BC lost to FSU?

Re: Week 10 Rank\'em
 

Because the voters are stupid and because BC was ranked higher last week.

Missouri has crushed two teams that were ranked in the top 25 when they played (Texas Tech and Nebraska).

[/ QUOTE ]

This is the dumbest logic ever for giving a team credit. Who cares where a team WAS ranked. Who CANT crush Nebraska? Texas Tech is decent but clearly not deserving of being ranked.

Interesting is that the Sagarin predictor puts Missouri at #9, and West Virginia at #4.

I was doing it for comparative purposes. You'll notice I did the same for WVU. By the way, here is a list of the Mountaineers' opponents so far.

Western Michigan
Marshall
Maryland
East Carolina
South Florida
Syracuse
Mississippi State
Rutgers

South Florida was their toughest game. However, they lost that one. What is their second toughest game? Mississippi State? Rutgers?

[/ QUOTE ]

What's their average margin of victory? Like 40 points? The only game WV lost, it was when their QB got hurt in the 2nd quarter, and they still almost won. I would love to get a bet on WV vs. Missouri, even WV -3. Don't get me wrong, Missouri is a good team. But you can't just look at who they have played.

[/ QUOTE ]

WVU's average margin of victory = 30.714
MU's average margin of victory = 24.125

Also, MU's strength of schedule is 53rd toughest, WVU's is 62nd toughest. The more I look at it, the more I think they are really, really even.

WVU -3 at a neutral site? I would definitely take the points.

The difference maker is also that WV had injuries in their loss too. Sagarin Predictor has the difference as about 3.5 points.

Yeah, and it also has MU as a four point dog to KU. Would you lay the points in that game?
