Keep telling yourself that....

The only positive with NIL is now the cheaters of the past parading around with their purchased trophies will no longer be able to simply buy a Natty.

Parity in College Football has arrived, and virtually any team in the country with a large NIL budget can compete for a Natty. Long term cheaters are beginning to realize this.

Statistics are a bit deceptive....

Mizzou 4 : Big 8 --> Big 12 ...does not indicate a conference move by Mizzou. The Big 8 became the Big 12 when Texas invaded it and then subsequently ruined it.

Missouri is kind of its own state. It has some midwestern flavorings, as well as some southern leanings in some areas, and a mix of those in between throughout the state.


You are fast becoming my favorite LSU poster. I appreciate the honesty without the usual bullshite from other LSU posters...since you are being civil and honest I will too.

I agree we would probably be a better fit in the Big1G. You have our State pegged correctly and there in lies the dilemma. We truly are a melting pot of cultures..some Southern, some Midwestern, and St Louis being more Eastern.

When all was going down I thought we would be a better fit in the Big1G, but based upon conversations outside the rant, and in person at many of the SEC venues I have traveled to...the vast majority of SEC fans are very happy we are here. I believe we have assimilated into the SEC and have done so respectfully which is our culture. We are nice folks, but we are willing to fight if pushed. I think that some in the SEC were expecting us to be quiet and only speak when spoken to. That's a mistake. Not sure if we would leave to the Big1G at this point because cash is king.

All of the top SEC teams will be joining a super conference. So what will Mizzou do, return to the Big 12?


Being one of the top SEC teams I guess we will have a choice.

What happens to the bottom dwellers?

You are correct Sir....

It would have to be an expansion school. No charter member would leave.


Disagree....

Absolutely no one will leave this conference and the cash it currently provides. The new era of College Minor League Football is about money...period. Mizzou, though consistently finishing in the top half of the conference, realizes that consistently breaking through to the top and dominating in this conference is a stretch. We will be a perennial thorn, that plays spoiler, and will accept that as we cash in our checks. We will continue to make strong runs to finish at the top.

Many of the charter members whine about the "watering down" of our beloved conference, and the good ole days. If anyone left it would have to be a team with a Notre Dame complex of delusional self importance. You can all surmise whom that might be.
Big 12 is a conference of leftovers and table scraps at this point.

No way in hell Notre Dame joins that conference. They will end up in the ACC if they join any conference.

ACC though "beneath them" at least comes close to their own perceived delusions of grandeur....
That would solve their problem. ACC is so terrible Notre Dame would win the conference every year and get an auto bid.

If this is true it highlights again how traditional powers, aka blue bloods, get special privileges.


It is true and your point is dead on...

Every year the 'blue bloods' are given advantageous rankings to start. It's much easier to stay up top when you start there instead of try to climb to the top from the bottom. "Blue Bloods" always imply they should be at the top to start because they are "blue bloods". It's been total bs for years and BCS type data is needed. There continues to be too much bias based upon zero data.
Best way to do it.....

If the cluster continues just have the SEC Champion play the Big 10 Champion and award the winner the Natty...
The Big 10 is about to be exposed.....

No comparison top to bottom either. Rank each conferences's team and have them play each other...SEC wins bigly...

No one, I mean no one should schedule ND in the regular season going forward.


Totally agree with my fellow Mizzou brother...

Give them a zero resume from here on, and it will take care of itself....
I don't hate Bama....respect them.

You'all need to curb stomp Oklahoma or they will continue strutting around here despite only one good year this far in our beloved conference.

They already have a weird sense of entitlement and if you lose to them it will become nauseating.....
Vandy deserves it more than BYU...
Here's how I know Notre Dame will NOT make it...bear with me...

Sports Betting officially started in Missouri this month.

I have no idea what I'm doing placing my first few bets.

My largest bet was on Notre Dame making the CFP because I believe the fix for them was in weeks ago.

My luck....Notre Dame will now cost me money in addition to the mental anguish they cost me with all the bias.

Bottom line...Miami is in.
I actually appreciate your statistical work, but unfortunately there is a flaw in your algorithm....

You list appearances in SEC Conference Championship since 1992. Mizzou was not part of the conference for 20 of the years listed. This makes it difficult to participate. Perhaps look at the last 15 years since conference expansion?

Though not winning one yet...proud to have made it there twice in our first years in the Conference. Not bad for a team that "doesn't belong in the SEC" huh?

Also who was the last SEC School to defeat Ohio State? Asking for a friend.

Congrats!!
I think it would be a positive move to kick out one of the bottom dwellers like LSU and get some real talent in our beloved conference.

Mizzou needs better competition...
