re: Missouri taking the East

We CAN win all of these games. We could lose them all as well.

Our defense is really good. Our offense sucks, but did show a little better last week.

aTm will be our toughest matchup. Followed by UK. UT and Ark simply do no have the offense to put much pressure on us.

It can happen.

Yeah, the A&M/TENN matchups aren't impossible to win, no doubt. UK will be really interesting game certainly

I would probably favor Kentucky over Mizzou at this point. The only way Mizzou has any chance of winning out is if they fix their offensive woes. Their defense and special teams were good enough to beat Georgia. It is kind of unfair to the defense how lopsided that GA game ended up being. The defense was doing a fairly good job of stopping Georgia most of the game, but when the offense literally can't get a first down and keeps turning the ball over, not much a defense can do. Could Mizzou go 4-0, yes. Could Mizzou go 0-4, also quite possible. I think more realistically they go 2-2.

I will say that if Mizzou would somehow win out I think they take the East because I think GA stumbles against Auburn. If Mizzou would win out it would probably be better if Georgia did the same because Mizzou would probably get a better bowl if they could avoid a SECCG shellacking.

How do people keep overlooking the fact that Missouri is garbage?

What do people keep overlooking that our last four opponents are a combined 4-14 in conference play?

I recognize that our offense sucks, and that if it continues to suck and if our special teams/defense doesn't bail us out, we can potentially lose to anybody left on our schedule. However, the teams left on our schedule are not good.

Mizzou is scoring 21.8 points a game in conference and giving up 20.3 conference games.. That's a differential of +1.5 points a game.

Here's our opponents:

Texas A&M: 27.6/39.6 - Scoring differential of -12 points a game.

Kentuck: 25.2/33.4 - Scoring differential -8.2 points a game.

Arkansas: 23.5/34.8 - Scoring differential of -11.3 points a game.

Tennesse: 16/28.3 - Scoring differential of -12.3 points a game.

That and we have ASTRO Dobbs our QB savior!
