If you want to rank the teams based on what "could have" happened, feel free.

Florida vs
P5:  5-3
G5:  1-0
FCS:  2-0
Common Opponents:  3-2


Missouri vs
P5:  4-4
G5:  2-0
FCS:  1-0
Common Opponents:  2-3


Pretty close.  But look at the records of the West teams they play:
Florida 16-6
Missouri  13-9

This isn't what "could have been", but what actually happened on the field.
A team that has been competitive in four losses and has some nice wins is probably better than a team that has three bad losses and no impressive wins, or perhaps one.
Otherwise, one would be lazy and just line them all up by number of losses.
I'd take Mizzou neutral field over most of the SEC right now, not including the obvious top teams.  They would have a shot at LSU and a very good shot at MSU.
They could well end up 9-4, which would mean ranked somewhere around 15 or so.

Okay, but if you only rank teams based on who you'd pick to win now, you're ignoring early season results.  Isn't a mix of both early and recent results not a sound way to rank teams?

I didn't say I ranked teams on who would win now, though that is one method of so doing.

I consider close losses to be an indication that the team is "competitive", and close wins over bad opponents to be an indication that the team is perhaps not that good.

I don't think this Mizzou team is really any better or worse than they were in week one.  I think they are pretty good and have a decent shot at finishing ranked.

Of course they also COULD finish 7-6 and look entirely mediocre.

Ah, so you're a proponent of point differential then.  Welcome aboard!!!

Yes, I posted this during the A&M/LSU game - they played to an even standstill.  Who wins is irrelevant, in terms of this ranking.
