I dont care who they beat, I still dont think that is right.</p>
Mizzou beat Kansas head to head & had a much better <u>strength of schedule</u>. So, I can't make any sense of it.</p> And now for a good laugh; BYU (in Today's Salt Lake Tribune) is whining and citing Hawaii <u>S. O. S.</u> as a reason they got jobbed. BYU already lost to UCLA & to Tulsa.</p>
