I agree that it would be a much tougher hill to climb, much tougher - but not impossible. I'm terrified of Alabama - absolutely terrified of them. That team should damn near never lose. Auburn's gonna be fun to smack around a little bit in a couple years when the sanctions from the Newton deal finally come (and they will). Florida seems poised to take a bit of a step back.
But MU has acquitted itself nicely against a lot of its SEC opponents and they are finally starting to build the talent on the O and D lines that could allow them to compete.
Bottom line: MU has no choice. I'd much prefer see them take a B10 offer, but they don't have one. If they get an SEC invite, they have to take it. It's only a matter of time until UT gets a network deal and goes independent. Then the music stops and there just might not be a chair for us.

The problem being in the SEC isn't one team. It's having a stretch where you play Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, LSU, Georgia and Auburn back to back to back etc...
Vandy, Ole Miss, Kentucky and Miss State are the only teams in the SEC that one plans on beating every year. Except you don't get to play them every year, and sometimes they are actually good. |
