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 is going to be better than people think in a few years.

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.

I would not be shocked if Mizzou finished as high as 3rd in the east this season (they have a brutal schedule this year). If Bama wasn't on their schedule I could see them as high as 2nd in the east this season. aTm will take a lot longer to become competitive in the west due to the strength of that division.

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.

Apparently Franklin will be ready to go for the SE LA game.
On the topic of competing, I think we will shock some people this year.

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 this is quite accurate for at least the foreseeable future.

Very nice analysis I'd say, especially for someone who I thought was pretty against us joining y'all in SEC.

Monticello does have a pretty serious bias against Mizzou joining the SEC. I agree though, his analysis in this thread is quite good.

I like the confidence and swagger coming from Mizzou fans. To be honest, I would rather see blind faith than the humble "please like us" approach most aTm fans seem to take with this move. Big brother Texas has really beaten the confidence out of this group and they are coming into the SEC tails tucked, heads down, trying to find acceptance. The SEC is the most arrogant, confident conference in the country. We talk trash back and forth like no other. We respect confidence even more than being realistic.
Is aTm's '12 team really this bad? If you have even the homer fans predicting 6 or 7 win seasons, it must be really bad. Or is it just you guys trying to be humble?
