This is the one that stands out to me.

When you look at the level hitting, intensity, just nastiness of some of the games in the 2000s (of course, other SEC teams have had a lot of games similar, but the physicality in some of those Auburn-LSU games in the 2000s got to some exceptionally high levels), I think that's the kind of football that Missouri and Texas A&M have just not been accustomed to over the years, so while they've had good teams during their time in the SEC, I just don't see that they have games like that as parts of their football programs, and I think to some degree, the inability to be able to play like that has prevented their good teams from being Champions. Although, I think the Texas A&M Defense is starting to have that look. When I watch that D, they close on the ball fast, and the D-line looks bigger and more powerful.
