The rest are beauty contests or pulling opinions out of your a$$. It favors certain programs that start out the year highly ranked. Even when they lose its tough to get them out.

Proof? During the same time period, Missouri ranked 40th in winning percentage, KState ranked 99th out of 109 teams.

          jealous would be the wrong word ... - tmcats KSU - 8/2 16:51:18
               Nope - Diamond Dave MU - 8/2 18:01:20
               Self-interest would be the wrong term. - BB63 STL - 8/2 17:16:00

     I was prepared to argue about this list - kmawv8 MU - 8/2 14:50:57
          they set a formula and leaned on math. It worked pretty well - bornoncampus MU - 8/2 15:05:22
               The flaw, from Mizzou's perspective, is that the AP poll - BB63 STL - 8/2 17:01:52
     All the proof you need the list is a joke... - implode STL - 8/2 14:01:10
          Kansas has had more success than Vanderbilt and - Truthful KC - 8/2 14:59:00
          gale sayers and john riggins were not jokes(nm) - tmcats KSU - 8/2 14:04:24
               Neither was John Hadle. kU used to be a worthy rival. - BB63 STL - 8/2 17:04:02
                    Reesing, Briscoe, Meier , and Talib were also good players - Truthful KC - 8/2 17:52:26
               ok, when was the last time they were top 60 program... - implode STL - 8/2 16:00:15
     You'd have a hard time convincing me that Alabama - TheWildcat STL - 8/2 13:57:09

     Actually, a little higher than I thought we'd be - Mormad MU - 8/2 13:47:58
          Probably helped by the AP limiting it to teams since '36.(nm) - GapDaddy MU - 8/2 13:56:51
               that's when the poll started(nm) - tmcats KSU - 8/2 14:05:02
