MU is 2-0 vs power-conference and, IMO, more deserving of a ranking.

But as I said before, MSU has Tom Izzo and a strong reputation in basketball, so biased pollsters are going to give them more respect.

                                        Ranked when they played doesn't mean they were good - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 12/10 14:17:33
                                             True, but they *were* ranked, and they *are* a major brand (nm) - zounami MU - 12/10 14:28:40
                                        ...and UNC is a "name" opponent, regardless of their - zounami MU - 12/10 14:15:25
                                             Also, MSU wasn't ranked at all after beating UNC. This week - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 12/10 14:57:50
                                   And it just happens to be the same ranked team that Missouri - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 12/10 14:14:11
          You certainly didn't think much of them when Memphis - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 12/10 14:00:56

                    Well, you are defending them being ranked #21 by the AP (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 12/10 14:07:52
                         No, I'm *explaining why* they're ranked by the AP... - zounami MU - 12/10 14:08:27
                              well, you are wrong (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 12/10 14:08:57

                                        No, I am saying for the most part the AP Poll specifically - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 12/10 14:23:40
                                             It's mostly name-bias, but MSU is 4-1 vs power-conference - zounami MU - 12/10 14:27:22
                                                  You are making my point for me. The fact that having Izzo - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 12/10 14:35:23
                                                       because we agree that the AP poll is largely inaccurate & - zounami MU - 12/10 15:01:05
                                                            I wasn't asking for reasons why AP pollsters vote the way - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 12/10 15:05:24
