re: Does Mizzou deserve playoff spot if they win the SEC?

If your schedule were tougher I'd say yes but your cupcake fest hurts, imo. (Note: I'd eliminate a lot of playoff teams based on the same thing - If you have a weaker schedule you have to go play a perfect season, not necessarily a pretty season but a perfect one). I do think you've been playing like contenders on defense and if you win the SEC you'll have an argument to make just not a very strong one. Of course, it might turn out to be just as strong or even stronger than others the media always seems to give a pass to but Mizzou for good or ill hasn't been given a pass on that schedule.

Also note that I'm of the mind that most teams don't schedule tough enough and that it should be a major knock against you if you haven't. I've been highly disappointed with CFB schedules across the board. P5 teams with playoff chances SHOULD be doing a better job across the board but that just hasn't happened.

JMO.
