How long before TAMU or MIZZOU are contenders in SEC football?

Not convinced either will ever be contenders, but for the sake of argument.

Mizzou will find themselves at peaking at the level of Miss St.
A&M might be as good as Arky one day.

Mizzou could be in the East if Florida and Tennessee don't return to the glory days soon.
Good luck A&M, I don't see it in the foreseeable future either.

aTm will probably cause problems for the upper tier West teams within six years if Sumlin is the real deal. Mizzou could contend in three to four years if the East doesn't get its shite together.

If Mizzou's starting QB is 100% healthy this season they'll contend for the 2nd-3rd spot in the SEC East this year. The kid put up some good numbers as a Soph, only will get better. Also depends on how often Franklin and DBG get to practice together before the season start since Franklin won't be 100%. Is Franklin the starting QB for the 1st game, maybe Mizzou folks can tell us more.

Mizzou's best chance is right now while Florida and Tennessee are at all time low's and Georgia is coached by a really nice guy. If things go their way, Mizzou could be an East contender this year. Franklin is no Cam Newton, but he has a very similar skill set that Cam proved could be wildly successful in the SEC. Combine that with an elite offensive weapon in DGB and you have a team no one can take lightly. They WILL beat UGA.
I think Mizzou becomes a permanent middle of the pack team once UF and UT come back though. Mizzou is like Iowa or Arkansas. Decent program that can be competitive every year with strategic recruiting and redshirting, but the distance from the recruiting hot spots will limit their long term potential.
The West is too strong currently for aTm to contend for an SEC title. I do think they have unlimited potential though, particularly when they upgrade to SEC level facilities and have a 100k seat stadium within a short drive of Houston, San Antonio and Dallas. In about 3 to 4 years they will have top 10 talent and all they will need is a little luck to go their way.

We are a contender two years after our stadium is done.

I think Mizzou will show a few growing pains on the road this season (DEF at SC, prob at The Swamp, and quite possibly at UT), but as they beef up both lines over the next few years through (hopefully) better recruiting, I think they'll perennially be in the Top 6 of the conference

All I can say is that if A&M get a big name solid coach they'll do a lot of damage in the SEC. I don't know too much about their current coach. I'm interested to see their recruiting class 2-3yrs from now. I'm sure they'll pull some good recruits over Texas and OU.

Texas A&M really just needs a high level coach as they already have recruits, stadium, fans, and money
Missouri is not as blessed
If the Florida can rise in the east, same could happen for Texas A&M in the west over next decade or two.
Missouri may be another Vandy at worst, but probably peaks as a mid level SEC football school. Sure they could hit a great team in a generation, but I do not think they can sustain it.

MIZZOU contends for the East this year. TAMU is mostly freshmen and sophs so it'll be awhile for the Aggies.
