Why has Missouri played so few games compared to everyone else???

 

[CalifLadyVolFan]

Missouri has had 10 games cancelled due to weather conditions.... rain and snow

 

[MillerTime80]

I've gotta say.... Even though UT is ranked lower in the USA Today Poll, it seems a little more accurate to me (overall).

And Congrats on Melissa's big weekend. She rocked A&M!

 

[oakridgevolfan]

Still don't see how Bama is ranked ahead of us even though we beat them head to head!

 

[Escape Goat]

Still don't see how Bama is ranked ahead of us even though we beat them head to head!

They aren't in the main ranking. They are two spots behind.
