Now, more importantly than these "quality wins" we have to look at
missed opportunities for LSU. Who did they lose to? Did LSU lose in
the lights of the SEC championship? No. Did they lose to their arch
rival in a rivalry game? No. LSU lost to Kentucky and AT HOME to
Arkansas. Kentucky and Arkansas are middle of the road teams in
ranking and in record.
they are both ranked in the "also recieving" section of the ap....I
think one of them is #27 and one is #29 or something.
The sad thing is that they are about the 7th or 8th or whatever best
team LSU has played this year.......and yet they would be the THIRD
best team on kansas' schedule....thats embaressing. If you're going
to bash teams like kentucky, you have to bash everyone on kansas'
schedule except for missouri.
You're leaving out one little detail when comparing the likes of
Kentucky and Arkansas to "everyone on kansas' schedule except for
missouri." Kansas actually beat everyone on their schedule except for
Missouri. You're right that either of the teams that beat LSU would
have been the third best team on Kansas' schedule. Kansas beat
everyone on their schedule from the second-best team down. There's no
reason to think they wouldn't also have beaten Arkansas and Kentucky,
given the opportunity.
maybe(my guess is its most likely they split those two games), but
there is also no reason to think that they would beat Auburn,
Tennessee, Florida, or tOSU. I'd guess they would be doing pretty
good if they go 2-2 against them.
Getting back to games that were actually played, Kansas' only loss was
to #4, and they beat #9. For you to say that they would be a .500
team against a bunch of lower-ranked teams than that, is to ignore
reality and just base your rankings on how good you think a team is.
If you're going to do that, why don't you have Ohio State ahead of LSU?
would you rank kansas ahead of missouri? i wouldn't. heck missouri
beat them for the B12 north.
Anyone who ranks Kansas ahead of Missouri just isn't thinking.
As I eloquently stated yesterday(and for the last month), the
comparison between Missouri and Kansas is so direct as for it to be
irrational to rank Missouri behind kansas. It's not like Missouri v
LSU. I certainly think LSU should be ranked ahead of Missouri, but at
least in that case some looney could attempt to make a case for
missouri just because their schedules were so different. But in the
case of Missou vs. Kansas, it's all right in front of us.
?
Mizzou > Arkansas > LSU
'Nuff said. ($1 to Stan Lee)
Missouri has an impressive ooc win.
Kansas doesnt.
Missouri beat kansas head to head on a neutral site in a game that
wasn't a blowout but wasnt a nailbiter either.
Ranking Missouri behind Kansas basically rewards Kansas for scheduling
absolutely nobody ooc and also rewards kansas for losing to missouri.
Not to mention it rewards kansas for having one of the most lopsided
conference schedules in the history of the big12(not their fault I
guess, but they should hardly be rewarded for it)
--would you rank missouri ahead of LSU? i wouldn't.
ergo ..
