re: No shot at playoffs, ranked 16 in latest poll

I don't think Mizzou gets in even if they win the SECCG, but I do think, at that point, they will be one of the four best teams in the country. But the committee is judging the four teams with the best resume, not the four best teams at the end of the year (at least that's what it seems like).

I think, in a rebuilding year from most accounts at the beginning of the year, an SECCG appearance is great. A win would be their best season in 55 years, even if they don't make the playoff. I'd be a happy Tiger.
