How is Florida ranked 25 in the ESPN way too early poll and Mizzou didn't even make the top 25? Are they losing a lot of players or something? If I were them, I'd be pissed at the disrespect.

It's a Mizzou thing.

Thanks for the love but us Mizzou fans aren't surprised nor do we really care at this point. As long as we're in the "Others Receiving Votes", we good.


Plenty of time to make up the ground.

We are losing a few but we'll be good.

Losing some important players but this is standard protocol for Mizzou. Team does better going in unranked anyway.

We are the Rodney Dangerfield of the SEC.

Seriously, we lose several players, but I think we have good replacements waiting. We'll be ok. And the team thrives on the disrespect and the underdog role.

Mirrors our recruiting rankings.

The prognosticators never have considered us worthy, and the trend continues.

No biggie. Puts a nice little chip on shoulders.

At least others besides Mizzou fans recognize the slight. Mizzou should be at least top 15-18.

Mizzou "other Tigers" who are ya'll losing/graduating, that will be a factor? Obviously, the way they turned it around, should be hopeful.

Sam, Ealy, Franklin, Gaines, Copeland, Britt & a few others but we rotated a lot of guys in so we should be OK.

We have Mauk at QB, all 3 RBs, DGB, Sasser and some other WRs that are all 7'5".

Good Luck! Hope it's another Tiger battle in the SEC Championship. But your opponents won't be from the state of Alabama.

Copeland and Washington on Offense, really O could be better next year.

Lose some really key guys on D. Sam, Ealy, Gaines, Ponder.

We have a tendency to choke when we start ranked anyway.

We lose several, but with the way we rotated players we still have plenty of experience coming back. I'm most worried about the leadership we're losing. It's more than the talent - some of the guys graduating were the real heart and soul of the team. Our captains were very strong. It'll be interesting to see who steps into that role next season.

To not have us ranked in this little ESPN poll is insulting, but not really surprising. It's ESPN. The team will use this as motivation.
