Again, if Cornell can be in the Top 10 at .500 and Wofford/Austin Peay can get in sub-.500, where the cr@p is Sacred City? Does beating a Pac-10 school mean NOTHING to the ECBers?!?

You do realize that the Sagarin ratings are generated by a computer. I doubt if the computer is guilty of East Coast bias.

I can't buy what people are selling on Missouri State...they really haven't played anyone yet.

Not sure the Sagarins mean much. If they do, Northern Colorado and Montana will be dropping down and out. Not sure if beating a Pac-10 school matters, not if it's Oregon or Oregon State. They're both beatable this year. But that was a great game, SuperHornet.
