Who deserves that spot over Mizzou if they were to win out? They'd have a Top 10 win, be 3-1 or 4-1 against Top 30 teams, and the best loss of any 1 loss team(save maybe Arizona St.) I'd was debating the Kansas as a top ten team as well. They'd be 0-0 against top tens teams and 3-1 against top 30 teams (OU, Illinois, Kansas). I am not so sure a 1 loss Big XII team is more impressive than a 2 loss SEC or Pac 10 team. I don't see how you couldn't be sure. The SOS would be equivalent, the number of quality teams played/defeated would be equivalent, and most importantly, Mizzou would have avoided screwing the pooch by losing to mediocrity like Stanford or Arizona or Kentucky or South Carolina.
