Mizzou won't be ranked at the end of the season. Heck, they aren't even ranked right now. Best case scenario is that they go 7-5 and then get an easy bowl game to pad the schedule with an eighth win. They won't beat Oklahoma, OK State, Texas A&M, and both Texas and Baylor. They are a middling team in the Big 12. Alabama, LSU, Arkansas, Auburn, and Mississippi State would beat them this year and last year. I see the SEC every week. I know how it is in that area. Until you have a team there, you don't understand. It is different to play one SEC team every couple of years and playing them week after week. The SEC is too fast and too defense oriented for Mizzou. They won't succeed.

How well they might do in the SEC is debatable. I sure would like to see it though. I can imagine if I went to a school like Ole Miss, then I wouldn't want Mizzou around because of the butt-whooping they would give the Rebels year in and year out. :-)

Don't hijack this Mizzou thread with your Ole Miss vitriol rhetoric. :-)

Ole Miss put the last three letters in class...

I meant to say except for her (in case she reads this)...

I was going to say that she was the reason I knew that in the first place, but that would be taking it too far.

One of the replies I read regarding my blog that Mizzou and the Big 12 get no respect said Mizzou would not beat OU, OK ST., A&M, which I think we win that game, Texas, who we might beat, and Baylor, also a team Mizzou could beat. All 5 of thoses teams are ranked in the top 20. 5 teams, the same number of teams that the SEC has in the top 20. The reply also stated that Mizzou could not compete in the sacred SEC. Even in a re-building year I know Mizzou could beat Ole Miss,Tenn,Vandy,Georgia,ect. I will agree that Bama, who in my opinion has the best program in the nation as well as the best coach, and LSU with that defense are 2 of the best teams in CFB. But 2 great teams doesn't make the SEC GOD'S chosen conference. Did you forget the beating Mizzou put on Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl in 2009. Mizzou won 38 to 7 at Dallas.

I'm sick and tired of SEC fans thinking all other teams are inferior. Look at the history of National championships. What about the PAC 12, The BIG 10, even the lowly ACC. At the end of the year lets look at the rankings and let this end this argument.

Not really as big a football fan as basketball so i would like to see them go to the Sec for basketball. I'm glad that Pitt and the orange men went to the ACC just adds to already the best conference in basketball.

I am not talking about the last 10 years. Sure the sacred SEC has more national championships than anybody else in this era. What about teams like OU in the 60s and 70s? How many National campionships did they win? How many Heisman players are from the big 12?

How about teams like Texas and Nebraska? Sure the SEC has been the best conference lately, But you should give the Big 12 some props. I quess your daughter went to Ole Miss or something. Well, I am proud of Mizzou and I respect the Big 12 and the other conferences in CFB. I like Alabama because of the way Saban runs the program. I respect LSU and their great defense. But, when the crap gets settled over the money in the Big 12, and Mizzou continues to improve the program, one day we will earn some respect. GO MIZZOU!!!

Blaine Gabbert is now the starting QB for the Panthers or do you not keep up with the NFL?

Mizzou is a Choke artist school and never wins a big game... Well not with Gary Pinkel as head coach anyways! They always lose the "big" games and usually lose in thier bowl games. I mean come on Navy destroyed them last year!! Lol Go Big Red!

That is some good info, Rocketsbro. I didn't realize we had faired that well. Go Tigers!!!!!!

Mizzou going to the SEC is a HUGE MISTAKE!! They rarely ever won any big games in the BIG 12 and usually choked in thier bowl games. If they move to the SEC the only wins they'll have will be against non SEC teams!! If I was them they should stay where they are and take 3rd each year behind Oklahoma and Texas instead of 3rd from.last in the SEC...
