I'm not saying 4 losses at this point can be disregarded... but their W\L record is due to the strength of schedule and youth of the team early in the season... that is not arguable. And calling it a "turd" is fairly bewildering.
Wins\Losses without taking SOS into consideration is like looking at a Baseball Pitcher's W\L record while disregarding all other stats.

They're gullible saps, that's why Alden schedules like he does.
Interesting Pomeroy data today: KU is #1 SoS there as well. The average rated team we have played is #63 which also happens to be.....Mizzou. Incredibly, our avg opponent thru 16 games is Mizzou. And we are 12-4.
