Chiefs Country and the honest chiefs guy whatever his name is. They put a weird amount of effort into commenting on Mizzou when they aren’t even fans. Not even ku fans do that. Obviously one of them is butthurt that smsu is irrelevant. The honest chiefs guy or whatever his name is pissed that we aren’t running the wing-t with a bunch of Missouri farm hands.

HonestChiefsFan is a hater and it's 100% politically driven. He's a DC guy through and through.

Already did. There’s a straight line between your quad 1 record & seeding. Since that’s what the tourney is, quad 1 matchups. There are no more gimmes:

Missouri played in more and won more quad 1 matches than every single 5 seed. Mizzou had 0 losses outside of Q1 and all the 5s had at least 1 loss outside of Q1.

SMU - 2 in Q2 and 2 in Q3 while going 2-3 in Q1
Duke - 2 in Q2
SDSU - 1 in Q2
Miami - 1 in Q3 and 1 in Q4

So nope. That's not the reason.

I'm kind of getting tired of this arguing about seeding. We probably should have been seeded at least one spot higher, but we weren't. Time to move on.
[Reply]

It’s SMC by the way. So to compare Q1 and Pomeroy Rating

SMC 2-3 (11)
SDSU 2-5 (14)
Dook 1-4 (21)
Miami 0-2 (40)
Mizzou 2-6 (51)


I’m not seeing any reason for outrage here

I could give a more thorough answer, but whenever someone tries to present something that contradicts your thought process on this subject, it won't change your mind. So why bother?
[Reply]

Goalposts keep moving.

Some folks say it was our non-con and Q4 caliber wins. Others say it was Q1 overall record.

Ultimately they're just gonna keep shifting baselines to justify it. Mizzou should've been a 5 or 6 seed but spent the entire season fighting uphill.

I watch a ton of college basketball. I follow MVC, SEC and Big 12. Watch all of Missouri State, most of Mizzou and quite a few of KU games. I can't help it you can't take honest criticism.

Pomeroy 51
Sagarin 52


That’s not a 5 seed.
[Reply]

Oh so now it's Pomeroy rankings? Plus where is your Q1 record from?
[Reply]

Who gives a shit what Pomeroy says?

Rutgers was 35th in Pomeroy, Ok State was 38th, Oregon was 41. They didn't even make the tournament. The committee doesn't give a shit about Pomeroy or Sagarin rankings.

You'll have a high as shit Pomeroy if your in a shit conference, play a cupcake non-con and beat the shit out of teams.

Missouri has a SOS in the mid 30s to low 40s, so they played a good enough schedule even though the non con was relatively easy.

I don't care what some advanced stats says about the D, because that shouldn't have any bearing in seeding.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You guys aren't changing each other's mind. Give it a rest. Please.

No one else is talking about anything else and it's not bleeding out into any other thread. Do you get thread notifications from this thread or something.
[Reply]

No, I just like to read any new comments when I see they have been posted. The last couple of days have been nothing but rehashing the same points over and over...and over.

My comments are as a Mizzou fan, not a mod, in case that's where you were going.
