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

Missouri won't ever be a perennial top 6 team in the SEC.

I think that will be the biggest adjustment for A&M and Mizzou. The depth of elite programs in the conference is absurd compared to other leagues. The SEC features 6 teams in the top 16 winning % of all-time. 5 of those teams have won BCS era titles. Prior to expansion the Big 10 and Big 12 were tied for second most with 3 each.

Missouri will slot in perennially from the 7-10 range like Arkansas and South Carolina with the occasional run at a division/conference title and the occasional down year where they finish in the bottom two of the division.
