Gabe's breakdown of the season

I think 10-2 is very possible. Georgia is the team to beat in the East, not South Carolina. South Carolina has serious issues in my opinion on the defensive line and at corner back. A large portion of this years recruiting class isn't eligible, they lost their most consistent and only possession receiver, and Connor Shaw is probably the biggest loss to a "team" in the SEC. Then you look at their schedule and I just don't see them winning more then 8 or 9 games.

If Mizzou can go 2-2 on the road in the SEC and win it's home games, which it should, we will go 6-2 and be in contention. Lets not forget that Florida and Georgia both have tough schedules as well.

This years schedule really sets up nicely for Mizzou to make it back to back if the Linebacking and Secondary positions can step up.
