Mizzou moves up seven spots from 51 to 44


But to show the oddity, here's an example of why I don't really understand the net rankings

Rutgers
Rank: 21
Overall record: 16-9
Road record: 2-6
Neutral record: 0-1
Home record: 14-2
Quad 1: 4-6
Quad 2: 4-2
Quad 3: 1-1
Quad 4 7-0

Mizzou
Rank: 44
Overall record: 19-6
Road record: 3-4
Neutral record: 2-0
Home record: 14-2
Quad 1: 4-6
Quad 2: 4-0
Quad 3: 3-0
Quad 4 8-0

The difference in the two teams is that Rutgers has played two more Quad 2 games, but lost them both. Missouri has the edge or is even in EVERY category. And ranked 23 spots lower. Which is why the NET is a tool, but has to be far from the only tool the committee uses
