Minnesota #1? Why not?!

[fredsdeadfriend]

The only reason you aren't finding more people disagreeing with you about winning the West is bc the West is terrible this year. Wisconsin is down. Iowa doesn't have an offense. Purdue is not as good as advertised, Northwestern is terrible. Nebraska can't get out of their own damn way.

You are Missouri winning the SEC East when the traditional powers were terrible

Missouri never had this good of a team. Deny it all you want, just makes you look retarded, because very few others out there in the real world are denying it, chump.

Stop it.

You're embarrassing yourself and Gopher fans everywhere. Learn how to handle some success with dignity rather than trolling anyone that has a different opinion.

Missouri finished top 5 in the country. Minnesota has never done anything close to that in recent history. Minnesota might end up having a good season. Most people are just telling you to pull back on the reins a little.

Missouri went 12-2, didn't beat a single EOS Top 15 ranked team the whole season?

How is UMn going 11-2 with TWO wins over EOS Top 15 ranked teams not "anything close to that"???


Only thing differentiating what Mizzou did in 2013 and what UMn did in 2019 is Missouri lost to two Top 5 teams, whereas UMn lost to a #11 and a #15. UMn played FOUR Top 15 ranked teams, beating 2 of them, Missouri only played 2 and lost to both.

And Minnesota "might" end up having a good season? lol If their bus crashes and the entire starting offense or starting defense can't play for the rest of the season, we "might" still get to a bowl game. Right now the odds makers are saying only 4 or 5 teams have a better chance of finishing the season 12-0, if its even that many now? And YES, that is mostly because of the ease of their schedule.

Congrats beating up on Ark St and Toledo and arguably the worst Notre Dame squad in a long time, that Marshall was able to beat. And UMn with a lesser team and coaching staff beat Wisconsin easily last year. So far OSU hasn't done much of anything special, living off your past. Which is fine. Can you get by Michigan this year?

SOS of 6 to Minnesota 107 per your Massey rating you cited

Missouri-top 5 ranking, won their division to play for the SEC championship, won the Cotton Bowl
Minnesota-top 10 ranking, didn't win their division and won the Outback bowl.

So yeah, Missouri's season was much better

Only to a simple minded dolt like you. Only a simple minded person would think going 0-2 vs the Top 15 is more impressive than going 2-2.


BOTH teams lost 2 games. Missouri only got into the CCG because their division was so weak. The B1G West that year was not weak at all, it had 3 Top 15 ranked teams in it.

Yes, this season could be VERY much like Missouri's 2013 season. My guess is the difference will be that UMn will be 12-0 going into the CCG as they miss both OSU & Mich in the regular season, Missouri had to play S Car in the regular season. The 59-42 score in the CCG is probably a higher scoring game than OSU vs UMn would be, as UMn will no doubt do their best to keep OSU's offense off the field as much as possible. I'd say right now, UMn's chances of beating OSU, if no players from either team get injured before the game would be 20-25%.

2013 Mizzou was a far better team per SRS (19.97 to 11.73) and finished with the 13th toughest schedule per SOS, while Minny's was 53rd.

 

[fredsdeadfriend]

FEI Rating has UMn at #5,
Oscar Rating has UMn at #5,
Massey Rating has UMn at #6,
BM Craig Rating has UMn at #7,
Splunty Rating has UMn at #8.

So? UMn actually beat the good teams it played. TWO Top 15 wins vs ZERO Top 15 wins for Missouri.

It’s nice that you are inspiring to be better than Missouri

They beat the #17 and #18 teams. There's hardly a difference between finishing #14 or #15 versus #17 or #18. They also won by 2 TDs on the road against 8-5 Ole Miss and UGA squads. Their best win outside of that was what... 6-7 Illinois? 7-6 Georgia Southern?

The comparison wasn't really made to compare Minnesota to Missouri, it was more so to show how a traditionally no factor Missouri was able to win the SEC East bc of the rest of the teams being down. But he didn't get that

There you go again giving slanted/partial data. The only thing...?

Here are their respective schedules "lined up" so even you can see the difference.. Missouri played an EXTRA AP ranked team and played two 8-5 teams vs Minnesota's two 3-9 teams



See the different impression given when ALL of the data is provided!!

Don't have to convince me. I already know. It's @fredsdeadfriend who is covering his ears and screaming LA LA LA

 

[BamaDude]

That's only because MSU sucks so bad, no way the Gophers can be any good.

It turns out Minnesota appears to be very good. Michigan St., maybe not so much.
