How would Missouri have fared if both new teams came in in '92?

This is mostly for Missouri fans to provide input, since they know about their squad during that time better than the rest of us I imagine. I'm sure people will say I'm "butthurt" or whatever, but clearly I don't post a lot so it's not like I'm trying to stir up trouble. I notice that missouri fans crow a lot on here, and I'll admit it's with good reason. What they've done in 3 years in the east is certainly impressive, and I imagine has surpassed everyone's expectations including their own. This isn't to try to drag missouri down, it's moreso pondering on how things would have shaped up over a longer time period. Full disclosure; I don't really know much about missouri outside of 2007 and 2012-current, so I'm genuinely looking for solid feedback. Let's take a look at how the east shaped up during that time.

12-14: no change obviously
11: UGA 7-1, SC 6-2
10: SC 5-3, UF 4-4
09: UF 8-0
08: UF 7-1, UGA 6-2
07: UT 6-2, UGA 6-2
06: UF 7-1, UT 5-3
05: UGA 6-2
04: UT 7-1, UGA 6-2
03: UGA/UF/UT 6-2
02: UGA 7-1, UF 6-2
01: UT 7-1, UF 6-2
00: UF 7-1
99: UF 7-1, UT 6-2
98: UT 8-0, UF 7-1
97: UT 7-1, UF 6-2, UGA 6-2
96: UF 8-0, UT 7-1
95: UF 8-0 UT 7-1
94: UF 7-1
93: UF 7-1, UT 6-1-1
92: UF 6-2, UGA 6-2


Missouri fans, can you tell us a little about your teams in this time frame? Without knowing about missouri, just what I know about the strength of the SEC teams, I would guess that 92, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 00, 01, 02, 04, 05, 06, 08, and 09 would remain the same. A couple years like 03, 07, and 10 would probably have been up for grabs as those east champs weren't necessarily as strong. I know that missouri was a force in 07 so I'd guess yall win the east that year. But what about the rest?


Again, this isn't some way to "get" missouri...I'm genuinely curious on how yall think you'd have stacked up against the east had you been here since its inception.

Missouri was garbage in the 1990s.

They were garbage until a few years into Pinkel's tenure. They might have won in 10, but not much other than that.

90's minus '98 were god awful. '98 probably would have eligible. Early 2000's were getting better, but was obviously a UF/UT/UGA stronghold. '06 was our turnaround, and it looks like the east minus UF might have been down. '07 would have crushed the east. '08 competitive, '09 was a down year. '10 was the year when we had an amazing 9 games, and pissed down our leg in a few. '11 wasnt anything special.

Mizzou football in the 1990s
1990: 4-7 (2-6)
1991: 3-7-1 (1-7)
1992: 3-8 (2-5)
1993: 3-7-1 (2-5)
1994: 3-8-1 (2-5)
1995: 3-8 (1-6)
1996: 5-6 (3-5)
1997: 7-5 (5-3), L - Holiday Bowl, ranked #23 in the AP Poll
1998: 8-4 (5-3), W - Insight.com Bowl, ranked #21 in the AP Poll
1999: 4-7 (2-6)

tl;dr version: Mizzou football was hot garbage in the 1990s and would have been the whipping boys of the SEC East, sans Vanderbilt.

In 1993 A&M beat Mizzou 73-0. So... they wouldn't have fared all that well.

Given that our program hit all-time lows in the 1990s, I am going to go with quite poorly.

We would've been pummeled throughout the 90's. Our turnaround was in 2005 and from 2005-Present we would have been competitive.
