Quit checking me out.
U bump the thread we’ll eat the crow
More likely - I'll bump the thread in December and he won't be here anymore.

It will be much better than last year but that might not be saying much.This is a more interesting idea. I wonder if the east will be bad this year . I doubt it, but it may turn out better than the West
No way they scored that many on ANY SEC team regardless of record. We all know that ALL SEC teams play great defense. Come on Nolie...get with the program man!Well...Mizzo only averaged 22 ppg against the 4 SEC teams they played that had a winning record.
They did average 47 ppg against the 4 SEC teams that had losing records.
Now in OOC games they scored 72 on Missouri State, 68 on Idaho
and 52 on UCONN. All of those teams had losing records. The one
team you played with a winning record was Purdue and they beat
you 35-3. In the bowl game Texas beat you 33-16.
I see a horrible trend here. 18 ppg against the 6 teams that you played with winning records. I think you'll be safe planning to have New Year's Day dinner at the house.
If they'll get shittier I'll include them in my favorites and kick out Kansas, Oregon State or Illinois. (Gotta keep my Miners regardless of whether they improve or not.)There are only so many Misery fans out there. There aren’t new ones being converted so an alt is more plausible than another Misery fan.
I thought South Carolina was bringing back a decent chunk of the team. I was guessing one of Florida or Tennessee would surprise.
2ndly, I don't think the West is a killer this year. Bama is Bama. Auburn is Auburn, which means you never know what to expect. LSU looks like a staggering drunk ready to finally collapse and pass out. Ole Miss is a train wreck, Ark isn't far behind. A&M has issues. Not sure what to make of MSU and their new coach

I will say if this team wants to win 9 or 10 games in the near future it has to be this year. A lot of talent leaving and 2019 could be rough.
I'll get the last laugh when we win 9 or 10 games, but you will have conveniently have forgotten all about this by then.
I could see them in the top 25 if all goes well. But there's an intangible aspect with them that I just don't know if it is there.It would be shocking to me if they are even in the top25 at all. If they don't make the top50 - I'm not surprised. They were a bad team last year and their recruiting has been in the shitter(#43 the past 3 years weirdly, and #25 the year before that).
The second half of the season last year they played a weak schedule and didn't beat a single good team.
Wins:
FCS team
Idaho
UConn
Florida - Fired Coach
Tennessee - Fired Coach
Vandy(Only SEC win was Tenn)
Arkansas - Fired Coach
Missouri wishes it was Iowa, but it's not.
And that year they finished 4th in the AP and set the Cotton Bowl rushing record and had a Heisman finalist and spent a precious week at #1.The last time Missouri had a good offense, Oklahoma Clown Stomped them twice in one year.
Good Luck
But you have a good point. What really happened was Mizzou lost the game at Norman on a late fumble in an evenly played game. Then we lost the Big 12 Championship to a team that had a young Heisman winner just coming into his own. A season with no bad losses but 2 to a very good team. At least our 12-2 season didn't include losses to ISU or something.The last time Missouri had a good offense, Oklahoma Clown Stomped them twice in one year.
Good Luck
Sorry about the triple post. I will be around all season and I am a CFB fanatic and I will post on other stuff but I do admit to being a Mizzou homer. I want to know how it works in December. I'm ready to eat crow if I'm wrong but I want the opportunity to say I told you so which is more likely. Just remember my post please.
Mizzou develops players from redshirts to Juniors and Seniors in 4 years playing at a high level. I swear I saw a chart of the top schools at overachieving giving their recruiting rankings and Mizzou, Michigan State an TCU were tops. I really wish I could produce that.Some numbers on Mizzou:
Missouri
Recruiting (that's 5*/4*/3*):
2015, 25th, 1/2/20
2016, 43rd, 0/2/18
2017, 43rd, 0/1/24
2018, 43rd, 0/0/25
Average Rank: 38.5
2017 Team Stat Rankings:
Points: 14th (37.5/game), Allowed: #93 (31.8)
TO Margin: -8, #111, (17 taken, 25 given)
Explosive Plays (20+ Yards): 82, #14
Opponent 3rd down conversion: 43.4%, #101
Their offense was good enough last year, to be sure. I think that explosive plays number was higher than Bama and UGA. Lock is the top QB in the division, coming in. Did have 25 turnovers.
The D was the problem, which wouldn't have been the case a few years ago. They had these swarming, fast defenses, very good pass rush. If they can right that ship quick, they'll be the most dangerous team in SECE.
But looking at those recruiting rankings doesn't inspire confidence in the talent level.
It's hard to win 10 games when there are at least 4 losses headed your way. Part of the reason for Mizzou's success last year was the play-calling of their offensive coordinator - who is now the head coach at UCF. Replacing him with Dufus Dooley will mean at least a 10-point per game drop off in scoring.
