Missouri only has 25 wins its entire school history against teams ranked in the top 10 when the game is played.
In the 15 years before Gary Pinkel became the head coach they had 2 winning seasons, and several 2 or 3 win seasons. I think most everyone is aware that Mizzou football was dog shite for nearly 2 decades. But thanks for the history lesson for those who may not have been aware.
Incidentally, what is the average win-loss percentage against top ten teams? I would think 20% would be well above average. The top 10 represents less than 10% of the FBS schools, and presumably they win most of their games.

yea it wouldn't have mattered who was coaching then, the Administration was in the process of sinking the athletic dept. Things had no place to go but up, and it took Pinkel 3-5 years to get things off the ground. And still the b12 north was never a world beating div in college ball, Jones at Tenn has as big a hurdle to overcome.
We didn't leave the 12 in great shape either, if not for squeaking a win out over the bigmouth bevos, the final season was generally a wreck. Outside of the win over #1 OU, 5 years ago, Mizzou hadn't done much to talk about. So yea this is a good place for Mizzou to be in, but it hasn't been a constant ramp up to achievement, there has been plenty of setback too.
As I pointed out in the other thread, Pinkels, "we do what we do/we have a system" has yet to get him over the final hurdle of reaching the "next level", and it's still only an outside chance that it ever will.
