Mizzou falls into the category of USCe IMO. Not a consistent history of winning until recent years. A few good years sprinkled here and there over the first 100 years and then somewhat consistent success over the past 10. Being light on tradition is huge in the SEC. You don't have enough past success to point at to be taken as seriously as you want to be in the here and now.
USCe has won 3 in a row against us, and have started to earn respect around the SEC since Spurrier arrived but, they have been here 20+ years.
Mizzou hasn't beaten anyone yet (at least not IN the SEC) so, no respect across the conference.
Bottom line is, you aren't as shitty as we all say you are and you most definitely aren't yet as good as your fan base wants to believe you are.

USCe has an all-time win pct of .510. Mizzou has an all time pct of .540. Mizzou was successful in the '60s and '70s...then tanked in the 80's and 90's. We just finished a recovery decade, so I wouldn't call us "new kids on the block" like USCe
