Missouri, Yes Missouri, is Ranked in the AP Poll

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Hell, if a Rutgers fan can blow his horn over getting a ranking with their schedule, I can sure as hell blow my horn over my Tigers. Here's some goodies for you to chew on.......

-4-0 for only the 5th time since 1925.
-#1 defense in the nation in yards allowed.
-Leads the nation in sacks, including an 8 sack game vs. New Mexico.
-#22 scoring offense in the nation.
-Sophmore Chase Daniel has a 141.5 passer rating.
-#14 rusher in the nation is Tony Temple (417 yards).
-#14 receiver in the nation is Wil Franklin (343 yards).
-Without question, the Tigers have the best TE duo in the nation. T. Rucker (6'6", 255) and C. Coffman (6'6", 250) have 34 catches between the two of them. Both are All-American candidates and are projected 1st or 2nd round draft picks (Rucker is a junior and Coffman is a sophmore). Their size and receiving ability create major mismatches in the secondary no matter who the defense uses to cover them.


Next game will be a good test for the Tigers. Although Colorado is 0-4, they nearly pulled the upset of #10 Georgia in Athens last week. Should be a good game, although Vegas is currently giving Mizzou a two touchdown advantage.

[cthomer5000]

I think the reason it's a huge story with Rutgers is the fact that it's been 30 years.

[MizzouRah]

Thanks for posting what I felt like posting. :)

I was just talking to a friend today (I have tickets for Oklahoma) to see if he wanted to drive down and attend the Colorado game.. although it is on TV. This is a HUGE game for us, imho.

GO TIGERS!!!

Yep, should be a great game to attend and there should be a pretty good crowd considering it is the Big 12 opener and MU is now ranked. Most said that MU should start the season 4-0. Now that they have, it's time to raise the bar and start shooting for a North division title. Nebraska's the only team that has played at the level of Mizzou thus far. We should be able to beat the other North teams.

To be honest, they probably wouldn't be ranked if they weren't located on the east coast. Either way, it may be a very short lived stay.

[ISiddiqui]

To be honest, they probably wouldn't be ranked if they weren't located on the east coast. Either way, it may be a very short lived stay.

I'm not sure that's the case. I think it is as a result of blowing out the inferior competition they have faced off against so far this season. Since it is NC, Illinois, Ohio, and Howard, it doesn't say anything, but they've all been impressive wins. Hell, Rutgers beat Illinois at Illinois bigger than Iowa beat them.

[cthomer5000]

Of course. Anything may happen.

It may rain tomorrow... look out everyone.

[MizzouRah]

Hats off to Rutgers as well.

Good for them. They should enjoy their stay as long as it lasts. I don't think it will last too long.

[Chiefsfan02]

I have been following very closely the Tigers this season and I think the next game vs Colorado will tell us where this team really is.

Each game they have played could have been very large blowouts as the defense has been OUTSTANDING. However, the offense sometimes seems to lack the ability to get that knock out blow. The Mississippi game is a perfect example of this. The Tigers just killed Mississippi's offense, which was never in the game and I think they had negative yardarge at half, but the Tiger offense just couldn't seem to take advantage of really good field position and put the game away.

If the Tiger's offense can get on track and really start moving the ball they could win the North.

As far as the Rutgers thing...who doesn't want to see them do well? I think it is great.

So lets cheer for a Rutgers vs Missouri BCS Title game. :)

[dawgfan]

I'm happy to see Mizzou doing well - Gary Pinkel is a former long-time Don James assistant and I've been impressed with his philosophies on running a program (most of which are derived from James). I'm not sure of why he hasn't been able to replicate James' success - maybe he's not as successful in choosing his assistants - but he seems like one of the good guys.

[duckman]

Why? You like watching your team getting slaughtered? ;)

There was something weird going on involving Brad Smith. I'm not sure they ever really knew how to run a team around him. He was an absolute freak of an athlete, but I'm not sure they ever found a good offense to use him in. There's always been no question that Pinkel is a good recruiter. They finally seem to have found the right fit between the offense and the quarterback now. It seems to be paying off in spades.

Do you respect any teams besides the ones you root for?

They haven't been ranked for 30 years. We'll leave it at that.

Congrats to your Cinci team as well. It appears that they may put two good seasons together.

[MizzouRah]

I don't think we'll get slaughtered. It's at home, so I can always hope for an upset. Don't make me run onto the field again like my dad and I did when we beat Nebraska in 2003.

I hear that Coach Pinkel has already implemented a gameplan for the OU game which includes only onside kickoffs to increase our chances of winning. The Oklahoma Senate may pass a bill outlawing it or threatening to quit the NCAA, but their laws are no good in Missouri.

M-I-Z!!!!!!

[Blade6119]

MIZ-ZOU!

Go rutgers too, im glad both teams are having success. I always like the underdog teams doing well, and i wish all the others great success(if their not playing mizzou of course ;) )

[panerd]

First of all I don't understand coming on here and posting about the Tigers and then trash talking Rutgers. It makes you seem like you have a real inferiority complex. I say good for Rutgers let's knock two Miami-like teams out of the top 25.

Some of our fans and media were also complaining about there not being a sold out stadium for the Ohio game. I think it is great. There have been about 50,000 of us going to all the games through Powers and Stull and Larry Smith and Pinkel's down years that are still going today. The last thing I want to see is the "Johnny come lately" fans from St. Louis and Kansas City who have given up on the Rams and Chiefs who will buy their scalped tickets and get mad about me being hammered and standing and cheering the whole game. If the guy who has sat next to me for 10 years and the family who has been in front of me the last 6 don't care about my cheering why should I care about some bandwagon idiot who is attending their first game?

[panerd]

I think the reason it's a huge story with Rutgers is the fact that it's been 30 years.

Agree with this 100%. We used to be a football powerhouse there is no need to get too worked up about a top 25 ranking. (Don't get me wrong I am happy about it, but I also understand the difference between Mizzou and Rutgers)

[wade moore]

I'm not 'trash talking' Rutgers. I simply don't think they are deserving of a ranking. Only reason I made any comment about Rutgers initially was because my thread title was a pseudo-parity.

As far as the fan thing goes, it's a non-stop issue in both basketball and football. I'm a basketball season ticket holder and have similar feelings from that perspective.

[dawgfan]

...was because my thread title was a pseudo-parity.
I think the word you're looking for is "parody".

[Chief Rum]

They haven't been ranked for 30 years. We'll leave it at that.

From what I have seen, it seems likely Rutgers would have beaten Mizzu each of the past two seasons--and maybe this one as well.

[duckman]

[Butter]

With due respect to the Missouri fans, Missouri is following in the footsteps of Texas Tech and Minnesota here. Schedule some early patsies, get to 4-0 or 5-0, then finish 7-5 when the reality of the conference season sets in. Maybe Missouri is better than that. We'll find out.

Yeah, that bowl win last year against the 'old ball coach' after spotting his team 21 points last year was merely a fluke. :rolleyes:

Yeah those 4 wins against Murray State, Ole Miss, New Mexico, and Ohio really prove Mizzou's greatness. I can do the rolleyes too: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Ah, I see the reasoning behind your posts. You're an Ohio fan who's irritated that both Rutgers AND Missouri beat your team quite easily. I feel your pain.

[Butter]

Yes, that's it exactly. Good detective work there.

[Butter]

I'm sorry for being snarky about this actually.

Yay for Missouri, yay for Rutgers. I enjoy seeing new blood threaten the college football status quo (just lay off my Buckeyes). I think it would be best of all if Louisville or TCU or Fresno State or someone made the BCS. I'll leave it there.

[panerd]

I think this thread has all but guarenteed a loss this weekend against Colorado. This is why I will only talk trash after the season is over or after beating Kansas. My ultimate nightmare would be knocking off everyone (Including OU and Nebraska) and be 11-0 heading into Thanksgiving against the Jayhawks and geting beat by those bastards who completely own Gary Pinkel.

[panerd]

Or even worse. Mizzou finishes the season 4-8 and this thread goes to like 500 posts like the "The Oakland Raiders sure look good in pre-season" thread.

Oh, and good for Mizzou/Rutgers. We'll learn a lot more about the two teams this weekend (Colorado, South Florida not being complete pushovers.)

[Butter]

I think they have to finish in the top 12 or something, but finishing unbeaten would seem to guarantee that.

missouri looks pretty good. along with iowa state and nu, hopefullty the north it turning it around.

Well, Brad Smith is now an NFL player, so I would say calling a player of his talent overrated is a bit much.

BTW, have you called Trent Green to see if he still remembers you? Might be a good test to see how many weeks our Chiefs will have to go without him.

Yeah they are 0-5, but they are still a good team in my book. They've been getting better each week and played well against Georgia last week.

I really don't care, we played a great game and it's nice to see an offense that is not one dimensional anymore.

Think of it this way. One year ago, we struggled to become bowl eligible. This year, we may very well be bowl-eligible only halfway through the season and playing to firm up our credentials for a big bowl bid. Also, Nebraska was the only other North team to win (and looked pretty weak doing it), so we have a leg up on quite a few teams in the North as well.

[MizzouRah]

Yeah, next two weeks will really tell what Mizzou has.

[Butter]

So, Rutgers is still much better than Missouri. Their win was 3 times more impressive than beating an 0-4 team at home by 15.

[Galaxy]

I don't think Rutgers is "much better". Remember, Colorado is a team that almost knocked off a Top 10 team the week before. I'm not sure how to rate Colorado. They are up and down.

Rutgers hasn't played a great team yet. USF is a decent team, but they aren't a "great" team.

Wheres illinifan, i need to vent before basketball seasons when he gets bragging rights back.

Really, i love my mizzou team...but im all for any team whos the underdog. Ill root for rutgers to take the big east, georgia tech or arkansas to take the ACC/SEC respectively. I hope they all do well, just as i hope they would root for us. Rivals can be friends, and ive been heartbroken watching the last 2 kansas games(sorry guys, i really thought you had both). I think the north all needs to support each other to dispell the notion we all suck. Be it whoever, lets take down the big dogs!

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

No TV for this weekend. Nice. So the east coast TV gurus are trying to tell me that a OU-ISU matchup (both teams lost last week) or a UT-Baylor matchup (that'll be close for at least a quarter) is a better game than the Big 12 leaders heading down to play A&M?

Guess I'll pony up the $29.95 and have all of the friends come over to the house.

You can use that Tivo and still watch something else while you Tivo another program. All you have to do is use a splitter on the incoming cable. Input one of the cables directly into the TV. Input the other into your Tivo box and then use component cables to connect to your TV. Then, you have two separate feeds that you can switch between just by switching video inputs. Really easy to do.

Yeah, we should have won the game, but certainly no shame in losing to a one loss A&M team. If you're going to lose a conference game, it's best to lose to a team in the other division. KSU should be an easy win and OU just lost their starting RB, so we have a good schedule laid out in front of us.

Well, if we finish the regular season with one loss, I'll allow you to lament that one game. My guess is that we'll probably lose one more assuming we can beat either Nebraska or Oklahoma. If we only lose one more, we'll be North Division champs and heading to Arrowhead to play the Longhorns. I'd say that would be an excellent season with most of our superstars returning for next season.

I'd say that would be an excellent season with most of our superstars returning for next season.

I figured them at 9-3, I believe at the start of the season, so I'm happy.. don't want it to sound like I'm not. ;)

Now that the season is where it's at, I see a loss at Nebraska and for some reason Iowa State worries me. With Peterson out for our game, I think we definitly have a chance.

10-2 is definitly attainable. :)

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Another fine win by the Tigers. They started a bit slow, but really turned it on in the last 3 quarters. Turned out to be another 20 point win for the Tigers.

With the Nebraska loss, the Oklahoma game is no longer quite as critical. With both teams now having one loss, even if we lose to Oklahoma and win the rest of the games, MU is the North champion. That comeback by Texas yesterday made MU's road to the championship game much easier to achieve. Even if MU wins the Oklahoma game, they still will probably have to beat Nebraska to make/win the B12 championship.

[SackAttack]

Mizzou ain't winning the B12 championship.

North, sure, but not the whole kit 'n caboodle.

I'll die of shock if they beat Texas in Arrowhead. Happy shock, but shock all the same.

They ain't winning the Big 12 North either. There is frankly no way Missouri wins in Lincoln. That's not what I want, but that is the way it is.

Most said that MU would finish 5th or 6th in the North. They were wrong about that as well.

Nebraska got up for the Texas game. They should have won, but didn't.

Listen, if Kansas can walk into Lincoln and take them to overtime, MU will be able to give Nebraska all they can handle. NU is lucky they aren't 0-2 in the games against KU and Texas.

Shame about Brian Smith, he was having a stellar season

Yes, he's 3 sacks short of the Big 12 record. He would have broke it pretty easily. There is still a pretty good chance that he will be able to play in the bowl game.

[MizzouRah]

Another terrible loss for us. :( Brian is such a leader for this defense.

I can't believe the game is at 11am this weekend... I'm going to miss my soccer girls team playoff game I think.. I'll find out the time on Wednesday, but it's usually an afternoon game. I was hoping it would be a 7pm game. :( This sucks!

Sweet fancy moses. Greg Bracey stepping out of bounds was just bad luck, as was the deflected interception. I'm not sure which Chase to blame for the missed TD. It should have 10-0 or 14-0 Tigers at that point.

I still don't think the linebacker had control of that interception -- it appeared to be shifting around in his grasp before the hit, and he only had it for a second.

They need to pull their head out right freakin' now.

[Vegas Vic]

-4-0 for only the 5th time since 1925.
-#1 defense in the nation in yards allowed.
-Leads the nation in sacks, including an 8 sack game vs. New Mexico.
-#22 scoring offense in the nation.


Those stats were accumulated against Murray State, Mississippi, New Mexico and Ohio University. Today, they faced an above average team in Oklahoma and they'll play another above average team in Nebraska next week, so those two games are probably a better indication of Missouri's true ability.

[MizzouRah]

Totally disagree VV. They've lost both of those games missing key plays - ball punched out of the hands, dropped TD pass, etc...

I know you have to make those plays and good teams do, but nobody is blowing us out anymore - we are definitly MUCH improved and a top 25 team.

[Butter]

Maybe you can get B-ball fan to talk some more shit about Rutgers... that'll get Mizzou back on track.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Maybe you can get B-ball fan to talk some more shit about Rutgers... that'll get Mizzou back on track.

Once again, the topic here is Mizzou. Feel free to bump the Rutgers thread if you're interested in Rutgers.

Honestly, Mizzou was the better team on the field on Saturday. But they made crucial mistakes in the form of turnovers (2 fumbles in the first half that can't happen) and absolutely terrible penalties (3 defensive penalties on plays where they had stopped OU and they were going to have to punt the ball away). OU took advantage of MU's mistakes and that's why they won the game.

The good part is that the OU game, win or lose, did not affect MU's chances of winning the North division. If MU wins this Saturday, they only need one win in the final two games to clinch the North. If they lose, they need help from Nebraska. This is the one that counts for so much more. The coaches need to dangle a picture of Arrowhead Stadium in front of the players this week. The opportunity is still there to make this a great season because the final two games after the Nebraska game are easily winnable.

[MizzouRah]

It's going to be VERY tough to beat Nebraska in Nebraska. Maybe the toughest game all season long.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

It's going to be VERY tough to beat Nebraska in Nebraska. Maybe the toughest game all season long.

Kansas took them to overtime in Lincoln. They barely lost to Texas in Lincoln. Nebraska is Jeckyl and Hyde at home. It's never easy to go to Nebraska and get a win. But MU can certainly do it IF they avoid the big mistake play that has caused their two losses. They should have 2 hours of securing the ball drills every day this week.

[duckman]

Honestly, Mizzou was the better team on the field on Saturday.

Except for that having less points on the scoreboard thing.

[MizzouRah]

That drop by Chase Coffman pretty much layed the ground work for the game Saturday.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Except for that having less points on the scoreboard thing.

Exactly. MU made some stupid plays that cost them the game. The win certainly saved OU's season. Kudos to them for taking advantage of the mistakes. MU has lost two games and both of them were lost because of bad turnovers. They have no one to blame but themselves.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

That drop by Chase Coffman pretty much layed the ground work for the game Saturday.

Totally different result most likely if he makes that catch. Would have totally changed the momentum in the game and would have avoided one of those crucial turnovers that I was talking about.

[MizzouRah]

Yup.. two bad plays in each of the last two games.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

:confused:

OU ran all over Missouri, hassled Daniel into mistakes and gave up nothing in the running game. How do you get that Mizzou is the better team?

Look, I understand your team made a lot of mistakes and you like to play the "what-if" game. But you could play the "what-if" game the other way as well. What if OU doesn't have two turnovers as well? Then this game is a blowout.

Missouri is a solid team, and they may very well win the North. I also think they'll be a force in years to come. But they're not there yet. And to say they were the better team on their home field when they were just plain beaten makes so little sense to me.

Very little of what he posts does make sense. He is a blinded Mizzou fan and I will give him credit for that (I sure wish there were more around Missouri) but some of his posts lack logic and reak of extreme homerism

OU was certainly the better team on Saturday. I also thought that A&M was at least on equal footing with us during their game. I think the point that he is attempting to make is we are a long way from the 77-0 game, but I don't see how saying we lost the game with turnovers and not understanding OU caused the turnovers makes us the better team. Kudos on a win and hopefully we will become a team you guys have to worry about, even in Norman.

Well, I guess I somewhat understand it because losing a game like that is probably the toughest way to lose. It's similar to the OU/Texas game this year. OU outgained Texas and outplayed them in certain aspects of the game. But the Sooners had a ton of turnovers while Texas had none. A lot of OU fans were saying we were the better team and would've won... blah, blah, blah. The fact is that Texas forced the errors and took advantage of them with big plays.

Daniel is young but incredibly talented. I think if Missouri can put a running game around him and he continues to mature as he has, there's no reason that Missouri won't be really, really tough in the future. Heck, they're tough now. QB is such a big part of the equation, and Missouri has that.

Who knows what happens in a year, but at this early stage, Missouri looks like a huge game for OU next year in Norman.

[MizzouRah]

I would agree, OU was the better team on Saturday. Heck, they even had maybe THE best RB in college out, so no excuses from us on losing that game.

These are hurdles Mizzou needs to overcome to make it to that "next" step... but they've been making mistakes like that for years.

We do have alot to look foward to though.

I was actually referring to the overall team, not just what happened on Saturday. Missouri made a lot of mistakes and OU took advantage of them. As I said, kudos to them for doing so. As for the teams overall, I think that MU is the better team. Also, OU was in a bad spot because they had already lost some games. Another loss would have been catastrophic.

I'll disagree with both of you. I don't think Missouri was the better team on Saturday, but I don't think OU was either; I think these teams were pretty evenly matched. Daniel wasn't exactly harrassed all day. He put up 383 yards of offense, and MU actually outgained OU by 2 yards.

There were three huge plays that determined the outcome of this game: the dropped pass by Coffman for a sure TD, the batted pass for the interception and the running into the kicker. Aside from those three plays, this game was pretty even. One could certainly argue that Missouri beat themselves rather than getting beat by Oklahoma.

But that's the level Missouri has reached. They no longer play teams tough for a while and the roll over. OU never put this game away. It wasn't as though Missouri played OU tough then rolled over and the final was 47 to 10. Missouri had the ball in the fourth quarter and was driving to make it a one score game, made a mistake and that was it.

Teams like Oklahoma are no longer 20-30 plays better than Missouri -- they are 2-3 plays better than Missouri, and those plays are simply instances where Missouri has the chance to make a play and doesn't. It was the same story in the A&M game. It's no longer a case of Missouri losing a game because they can't tackle and some running back throws up 300 yards rushing. They get beat because they don't catch an easy pass, a fluke batted ball for an interception, and a punter tripping over a guy laying on the ground.

Another point to make is that MU and OU are both very young this year. They're both going to be getting back a lot of their stars next year. MU has also picked up much better recruits this year as a result of their good play. I'm assuming OU will get their usual good recruits as well. These teams will likely be contending for their division title next year as well.

[MikeVick7]

Hey, if he likes to think that Mizzou was the "better team" on Saturday, good for him. An L's an L, however. What that means is that Mizzou's two losses were against "worse" teams I guess, (assuming he thought they were better than A&M too) but that means they lost to worse teams. Wouldn't be too proud of that.

Mizzou has one quality win this year (on the road at Tech) so I guess he needs to grab on to as many moral victories as possible.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

[MikeVick7]

That they took care of business on the road. I'm not pumpin up the Sooners here, like you're pumpin up the Tigers. You just said that they were the better team, which I don't agree with, nor does anyone else who has chimed in today.

OU took advantage of MU's mistakes and that's why they won the game.

Using that exact same logic, OU was the better team on the field against Texas. They outgained the Lonhorns 333 to 232 and lost the turnover battle 5-0.

[Vinatieri for Prez]

Damn, I came on hear to heckle Missouri for losing again, but then realized the Huskers did too. It will be a big game in Lincoln (no doubt a trip to the conference championship on the line). As much as I would like to see the Huskers win and having the game in Lincoln, I see this game as nothing more than being straight up. In fact, in the small recesses in the back of my mind, I am bracing for a defeat. I thought we had turned the corner even in losing the Texas game, but this week was bad. So sit tight Mizzou fans, all may not be lost yet.

[Vegas Vic]

I think there's one thing we can all agree on. The Big XII North sucks -- again.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

I think there's one thing we can all agree on. The Big XII North sucks -- again.

The level of play is a lot closer than it has been the past couple of years. Nebraska (if they wouldn't have blown it against Texas) and MU (if they wouldn't have fumbled a sure touchdown against Texas A&M, if you saw it, you know what I'm talking about) would both be 4-1 and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

The South is kind of like the rich kid in school that claims they're better than the other kids when actually, there's not the great divide of superiority that they'd love to have in their favor.

[Vegas Vic]

The level of play is a lot closer than it has been the past couple of years.

There is a fairly decent chance that all six teams from the Big XII South will be bowl eligible this year.

The South is 13-3 against the North this year.

In the last two conference championship games, the South representative has won by a combined score of 112-6.

You can spin it any way you want to, but the Big XII South owns the North.

Certainly, the past has not been kind to the North and several North teams have blown games late this year. I don't disagree with your stats, but I do disagree that the North hasn't improved over the past years.

It's pretty obvious you're a gambler as well. :)

Besides Mizzou who exactly has improved? Nebraska is certainly not even a shadow of what they used to be, K-State was a football powerhouse for a while there, Colorado used to be a consistant top 20 team, and Iowa State used to actually pull off wins over better teams. Kansas was bad then and is bad now. So how is the North better?

[Vinatieri for Prez]

Actually in my opinion, there has been slight improvement in a few teams in the north, and a drop by the south powerhouses. As a result, the conferences are closer, but yes the south is still better. Put it this way, the north is still losing most of the games, but not nearly by as many points as they use to. For whatever that's worth. That said, I could honestly see a north upset in the conference championship. Not saying it's going to happen, just that the odds have improved this year.

[cartman]

[Butter]

With due respect to the Missouri fans, Missouri is following in the footsteps of Texas Tech and Minnesota here. Schedule some early patsies, get to 4-0 or 5-0, then finish 7-5 when the reality of the conference season sets in. Maybe Missouri is better than that. We'll find out.

Hi, I'm the guy who predicted this in September.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Yep, tough loss yet again. Got two very winnable games to finish the season and end up 9-3 and 5-3 in conference. It will be a good year if that comes to pass, but they missed out on an opportunity for a lot more.

[MizzouRah]

I said 9-3 all along. I'm disappointed in the Texas A&M and Oklahoma game, but in way did I think we would beat Nebraska on their field.

[panerd]

Me and my brother took a road trip for the ISU game and we thought we were also completely hosed on the 3rd down play where Chase ran it into the endzone. Mizzou has made me such a pesimist when it comes to the Tigers that I was worried the whole final drive that ISU was going to come back and score to win. And when Mizzou scored and the flag came out (seriously about 2-3 seconds after the play was run) I was shaking my head knowing Mizzou was going to get screwed again.
