Serious Question: Why no respect for the two-time SEC East-winning Yankee Ruffians

What exactly is different about UGA and Tenn (or Missouri for that matter) that makes everybody pick them 1 and 2?
I suspect It's a bit of buying into the unwarranted "big six" hype and talking from asses.

Missouri will win the East again this yr

UGA and UT have more talent on paper.

Missouri is like a really boring story that everyone is to polite to interrupt

Because winning the East doesn't mean shite. It's been 7 years since an East team won the SECCG.

Mizzou lost some great DE's that were game changers. Dobbs is a more athletic Mauk. Georgia's o-line and running backs are arguably the best in the league.

Because they sucked last year and everyone knows it. They backed into the sec championship after losing to Indiana and being held scoreless at home against Georgia. They did fine against the middle of the road teams last year and good to them for that but they were not impressive in the least.
They could be vastly improved this year and I'll give them all the props they can handle but I ain't giving them shite after last year.

Indiana = 2014 SEC East Champion

Mizzou's inability to beat good teams doesnt help with their perception, and they don't return a ton of starters like UT or stars like UGA.

Nailed it. Tennessee will definitely suck arse this year.

I think Mizzou fans actually feel not as confident this year either. The losses of Ray, Golden, and Brantley (just for this season) are brutal on defense. On offense they lost their 3 biggest playmakers I believe (Hansborough, Sasser, Murphy) and getting smoked by UGA last year in head to head, along with getting trounced by Bama in the SECCG gives people a bad taste. I don't doubt Pinkel can have them in the race and even win the East, but any team who loses that much quality (outside of maybe Bama) in the league is going to project to be worse the next season.

the big six is real and they are spectacular!

In 2010 when USC won the East, everyone downplayed it due to the East being down. USC also had to beat then-#1 ranked Alabama who had won 19 straight heading into Williams-Brice, and also faced Auburn in Jordan Hare who would go undefeated and win the MNC...
Over the past 2 seasons Missouri has not faced either Alabama, Auburn, or LSU in the regular season - those 3 teams were the top 3 in the West in 2013. They also didn't face either Ole Miss or Miss St. last season, who were among the top 3 of the West along with Bama.
Missouri is 4-5 over the past 3 seasons since joining the SEC against USC, UGA, and UF who have been arguably the East's top 3 teams in that time. Over the past 2 seasons the only OOC opponent from a Power Five conference they have played in the regular season has been Indiana, and they are 1-1 against them.....

Winning a division doesn't mean much. I could not care less if auburn wins the west if we don't win the conference.

The Big 6 is dead men walking.
It's only a matter of time til someone crashes the club.

Could the 34-0 beat down UGA administered to mizzou last yr be the exact reason?
Posted on 8/4/15 at 8:32 pm to KaiserSoze99
Respect for Mizzou. Texas A&M to Mexico league.
Posted on 8/4/15 at 9:01 pm to KaiserSoze99
Cuz they suck

At this point....
Who gives a frick?
It simply doesnt matter what we do, we don't have the history or the recruiting stars to get it. Winning is far down the list of things that gain you "respect". It's too simply explained away by flukes, easy schedules, etc.
You know what though. It doesn't matter one bit. We'll keep vastly over performing preseason projections and most opposing fans will keep coming up with reasons why it's not worthy of their respect.
Keep it.

Unwarranted? The three big six schools in the East are the only ones with recent SEC championships and/or National Championships.
UT, UF and UG don't care about winning the East. Winning the SEC is all that matters and then playing for a NC.
This isn't rocket science. If anyone can tell me that the East hasn't been struggling since before Mizzou came in then I don't know what to tell you.
This shite is sillier than the Mizzou fan in this thread bitching about Gators talking about our defense when the defense only gave up 120 yards to Mizzou in 2014. That was just a strange game all around and a complete idiot was our head coach.
