25	Missouri Tigers	I debated Missouri or Iowa to round out the top 25 as a worthy 2 loss team. Iowa's two losses were close and against ranked competition, whereas Missouri's two losses are simply inexcusable. The difference, however, is that when Missouri plays their best football, they look MUCH better than the best we've seen out of Iowa all year. I know ugly, close, hard-fought contests are the Kirk Ferentz special, but you know that when this Iowa team can't make miracles happen when they're outmatched. If Missouri's offense is firing, they just might, so I gave them the edge.
