Being in the much weaker SEC East, Missouri has played one of the weakest SEC schedules ever. They have played few games against the best SEC teams and have lost to Bama and Auburn when they played each once, and they have never played LSU in three years.
Tennessee and Florida have be way down since Missouri has been in the SEC. Both those teams won national championships in the past and dominated the conference during several past years. - Missouri lost to Georgia, the strongest SEC East team this year, 34-0. Only 2 of 7 teams in the SEC East have a winning record this year: Georgia and Missouri.
Missouri has been an average, or slightly better than average SEC team over three years, as has A&M. If you think Missouri has played even an average SEC schedule over three years, then you know nothing about the SEC.
Some people enjoy repeating this myth that the two old Big 12 teams came to the SEC and immediately began to "dominate", but it is nothing but a myth based on nonsense and wishful thinking.
I think Missouri will lost to Arkansas Saturday if Arkansas' starting QB is able to play.
I didn’t say they have dominated. I say they have competed well. They ain’t Vanderbilt, Kentucky, or Tenneessee.
Oh, I know all about the SEC. It is pretty much Alabama and then a log jam a tier below. On any given Saturday, nearly any team outside of the patsies in the SEC East can beat anybody. Case in point, Ole Miss and Arkansas.
