Also, the Predictor has WVU-#4 and MU-#9, but the Elo_Chess has MU-#7 and WVU-#12.

Come on, Arnold_O, I know you're a Big Ten homer, but give me a break. Illinois with a loss to Iowa and their best win over Penn State and Wisconsin with their best win over........ Indiana? ahead of Kentucky and USF? Give me a break. Those teams have the same number of losses and Kentucky and USF have played much tougher schedules. Beating LSU and Auburn >>>>>> beating Indiana and Penn State.

This isn't how you're supposed to rank teams. The BCS already takes SOS into account. Rankings should be based on how good you think the teams are. Not their resumes. Arguing that his rankings should be adjusted because of those teams' best wins is dumb. Watching the games is the only real way to tell the teams apart.

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.

i havent seen west virgina play that much so i dont have a strong opinion but to be fair missouri has to have a large margin of victory as well..they crushed colorado, crushed texas tech,...they dindt beat illinois by much at all but if u look at score at the end of each quarter missouri was up by like 28 at one point...crushed nebraska (who doesnt tho) when missouri has won they have won big
