Seems like another schedule that comes with high expectations. Although, I'd rather rotate some teams.

It looks like a home and away games for this season and next season.

Oklahoma has another gauntlet too. I hope 8-4 7-5 becomes their norm and sink into irrelevance like nebraska.

This feels like the schedule makers got together, started drinking, and said "frick it, got shite to do tonight" and just flipped home/away.

Honestly it feels like they are looking for ESPN to negotiate a 9 game schedule, or they think the ACC is done and the SEC is going to bring in 2-4 new teams.

That's probably the case. I may be projecting with my theory.

That is a pretty manageable schedule. Y'all should put up a good record with that.

Then why this expert disagrees with you?

Why Missouri could be a candidate for regression in 2024
The Missouri Tigers were one of the biggest surprise stories of the 2023-2024 college football season. They ended their year with a splash, defeating the Ohio State Buckeyes 14-3 in the Cotton Bowl. It was unquestionably one of the best seasons in school history.

Unfortunately, on Thursday’s edition of Andy Staples On3, Ralph Russo broke down why he thinks the Tigers are a prime candidate to take a step back in 2024.

Why Missouri could be in for a down year in 2024
“Every time the preseason AP Poll comes out, I always tell people, two of those Top 10 teams are probably going to be unranked. Because that’s what the numbers say over the years,” Russo noted.

While he admits the Tigers have plenty of talent coming back, they also lost a ton of elite players in the offseason.

“Where I look for disappointments is I tend to find the teams that were last year’s surprises. And maybe bake in some regression,” Russo said. “So, Missouri. Missouri jumps out to me, Andy. Hey, listen, they’ve got a lot of good stuff coming back here. They’re losing their left tackle, one of the best pass rushers in the SEC, two good corners, Cody Schrader.”

Cody Schrader is one of the toughest running backs in the nation to replace. He shredded opposing defenses to the tune of 276 carries for 1,627 yards and 14 touchdowns. He earned first-team All-Americans after exploding onto the scene his senior year with the Tigers.

Schrader etched his name in Missouri program history, becoming the school’s single-season rushing yardage leader.

That being said, Missouri does return one of the best quarterback-wide receiver tandems in Brady Cook and Luther Burden III. Burden has been among the nation’s elite dating back to his high school days and he didn’t disappoint last year, hauling in 86 catches for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns.

“So, I’m gonna bake in some regression for Mizzou and think that while they’ll probably start the year as a fringe Top 10 team, that that’s a team that I could see only maybe winning eight games,” Russo said. “Especially in a new bulked up SEC. Their schedule isn’t crazy over the top. But it’s pretty tough. And so, I’m gonna bake in some regression for Mizzou. That’s my first one.”

While the Tigers schedule isn’t completely stacked, there’s still some really tough games. They’ll go to Alabama on Oct. 26. They’ll also face Oklahoma on Nov. 9. South Carolina is never an easy place to play and Missouri will play there on Nov.16.

It’ll be fascinating to see how the Tigers follow up one of the most successful seasons in program history.

I guess he didn't see that Drinkwitz did add a good running back and just got his new starter for the left tackle position from the transfer portal. I don't see where Mizzou will have a drop off after addressing two of the most important needs to get back to being competitive again for another top 10 finish at the end of this coming season.
Drinkwitz has a good chance to be the coach of the year after the end of this coming season if the team repeats the results from last year or better.

Its talking season, and any and all Mizzou haters who don't know anything about our roster are going to get their talking points in. There are plenty of people who don't see Mizzou as a lasting challenger, and they have good reason after 2014.

The offense will be fine or perhaps improved with another year to gel.

The defense is the question mark, but we've brought in some good talent through the portal, and we'll see how the new DC does. But, he's had success in his history, so it may translate to our group.

8-9 win season is possible of course.

A&M might be much improved, who knows. Thats a tough road game. Auburn, who knows there too. We haven't had good luck with AU, and I want that win.

Should be an exciting year for MIZ.

the biggest surprises are always the most likely biggest regressions. nothing wrong with that. That is how it typically goes anyway.

The stars have aligned for this schedule. Saban gone, okie at home. No other 10 game winners on schedule. It gives us a strong enough schedule to be highly ranked and weak enough that there’s a very outside chance to win them all. That said there were too many close games last year that went our way with some luck. I mean, our punter through a TD! Nice to get the lucky breaks unlike the year before.
8 wins minimum. 11 is my prediction.

Blake Baker’s departure will hurt more than we realize. Plus the departures of NFL talent on defense will equal to a 7 or 8 win season.

The good news is you predicted 6-6 last year so if you’re predicting 8 wins this season that means we’re playoff bound. Baker is not that big of a loss

I agree with mouse, but I'm playing the same game as McMillan. Last year I said 8-4 with low expectations for our bowl game. So accordingly, I will say 10-2, with low playoff expectations.

As for our defense, I am of the belief that we had a defense with top 20 talent, but we weren't a top 20 defense.

Last year I said 7 wins UNLESS we beat K-State, then everything was on the table. This year I'll say 9 wins UNLESS we beat Bama. That puts us in the playoffs and who knows?
