Don't be too, concerned, Mizzou, with all the haters coming outta the closet to attack you all.....when you win, it happens. You won big last year, especially the curb-stomping you gave Ohio State; therefore, your haters will come out big, too.

Congratulations and welcome to the club.

You might be getting our schedule confused with another Tiger team.

Tennessee will actually have an elite offense against and a vastly improved secondary. I promise you won't stay within two scores of us this upcoming year. Milton wasn't beating anyone decent last year.


Typical Tenner fan does not even know his team's schedule

:Mizzou 24 Schedule
Aug. 31 against Murray State
Sept. 7 against Buffalo
Sept. 14 against Boston College
Sept. 21 against Vanderbilt
Sept. 28: bye week
Oct. 5 at Texas A&M
Oct. 12 at UMass
Oct. 19 against Auburn
Oct. 26 at Alabama
Nov. 2 bye week
Nov. 9 against Oklahoma
Nov. 16 at South Carolina
Nov. 23 at Mississippi State
Nov. 30 against Arkansas


Don't see Tennessee on their hum???

If you look at that schedule I see at most 3 games that Mizzou is not favored in (Aggies, OU and Bama). in actuality Mizzou was beter then OU and the Aggies last year. Mizzou being Mizzou could shite the bed but calmer heads sees: 9-3, 10-2 or 11-1 as most likely.

Explain why Alabama is in tier 2 and LSU is not?

Because I don’t think LSU has the talent to beat Georgia.

They can beat Texas & Alabama though..

Both Georgia and Ohio State have so much talent, it’s gonna take a really talented team to beat them.

My point is that a team like TCU in 2022 was really good, but they just didn’t have a chance against Georgia. Your LSU team in 2022 didnt either.

But Alabama beat them in 2021 and 2023.

Texas beat them in 2018 even though they will argue that one.

Ohio State lost to a really talented Michigan team last year. OSU should have beat Georgia in 2022.

Texas beat Alabama.
Michigan beat Alabama.

Texas isn’t consistent enough yet.. but our talent is pretty close to those teams..

And maybe i’m wrong too..

Anyone’s guess how the season turns out and the schedules certainly aren’t all equal.

That said, there isn’t a coach in the nation who would trade the roster at Bama for any of the rosters at Missouri, Ole Miss, Notre Dame or Penn State.

There also isn’t a coach in the country who would rather play Bama week 1 than any of those schools.

LSU had the worst defense in the SEC last year and lost the Heisman winner at QB and two NFL 1st rd picks at WR. There are plenty of questions going into the fall in Baton Rouge.

I’m not saying LSU isn’t a contender, I just don’t think their roster is there with UGA/Ohio St/Texas/Bama until you prove it.

You must have forgotten preseason 2023. Milton was getting A LOT of hype from vol homers like yourself.

# 7?
Wow! Michigan?! Just wow! This should have nothing to do with last year's team winning it all. Michigan now has a new HC, and he is not an experienced one. Then key assistants left and plenty of key players left. How can the experts be picking them at # 7?

Here are some teams that experts say will take a step back this coming season.
Michigan is one of them.

Michigan is losing a lot, but they still have a lot of talent.

Texas @ Michigan is The Big Noon game on 9/7. That helps Texas.

Playing there at night would have been a lot harder imo.

They have a lot of talent and a good staff but do not believe anyone in that program really understands what a gaunlet the SEC is. You cannot have down weeks like the Big 12 and barely pull out wins like last year against subpar teams like Houston team, Kansas and TCU.


So because Texas beat Alabama on the road by more than they beat Houston and TCU (not sure why you mentioned Kansas, Texas beat them by 26 and they were a ranked team last year), does that mean those teams were better than Alabama?

Also, didn't Alabama have close games against USF and Arkansas? Didn't they end up going undefeated in the SEC?

Close games happen. This is such a tired and desperate take from aggies trying to diminish anything Texas does simply due to jealousy
