Who else has yet to acknowledge Missouri in the SEC?

The SEC has mighty weapons at its disposal. We have Alabama, the very name a titan in the pantheon of college football, though they twice fumbled their destiny on the grandest stage, leaving a trail of shattered dreams and a bitter taste of humiliation upon our lips. Yet, the heart of the SEC still beats strong, a defiant thunder in the face of doubters. Georgia, mirroring Alabama's folly, also choked on the precipice of glory, but remains a formidable representation of the greatest conference in the land. Furthermore, the winds of change whisper through the conference. Ole Miss, a hungry young lion, claws at the gates, their singular SEC West Championship banner a beacon of their relentless ambition. Tennessee, a serpent ever coiled, slithers into that coveted third or fourth place, a cruel spoiler to those with actual championship aspirations. LSU, clawed back from the abyss of 2020, stands poised. With a single, worthy quarterback, they shall claim their rightful place, a second SEC title dance in three years a distinct possibility.

But Missouri... Missouri is a phantom name amidst this pantheon. Do they even breathe the same rarified air? Have they ever truly belonged within these hallowed halls? The chronicles of the SEC offer no definitive answer. Their existence, a question mark etched in the annals of history.
