We were projected 6th in the East in 2013 & 2014 by most pundents and we won the East. Nobody has a clue. Our defense will be nasty and our O has improved. That said, we are 2-3 OL injuries away from starting walkons and getting our QB murdered.

Mizzou has for sure performed well during their first four years in the league. No one expected 2 East titles in the first four years. But even if Mizzou wins and SEC Title, they've got a long way to go to join the "Big 6".

Of the SEC's 10 best programs, Mizzou without a doubt comes in at #10 (though way ahead of the other 4 teams in the conference who quite frankly are very far below Mizzou). Of SEC teams, Mizzou comes in 10th place according to the AP... 10th place in winning percentage... and 9th in all-time wins.

Mizzou lacks a national title along with Arkansas and Ole Miss.

It would take far more than just an SEC Title for Mizzou to join the group. Put it this way, Mizzou could finish #10 in the AP for ten consecutive seasons, and you'd still trail at least 7 teams in all-time AP poll points... most of those still by a considerable margin.
