How often does Missouri play a truly elite team? Well, they play Georgia every year. Would you consider them truly elite? They play Bama about once every 3 years.
“Only 3 of 15 teams had a worse conference record” Interesting you chose to word it that way. First of all, there’s only 14 teams in the SEC. Secondly, only 7 SEC teams had a better conference record than Mizzou. There was a bunch of teams that finished 3-5 in conference, MIssouri being one of those. I would call that middling, along with several others. It’s not like they’re a bottom feeder like Vanderbilt (or Kansas for the last decade).

Georgia’s been really good the last 5-6 years. Before that they’d been unranked in 5 of the previous 8 years.
So you add one more loss to your record when you play Georgia once a year, and Alabama hangs a loss on you every 3-4 years. Wow, you’ve got it so rough! It’s not like KU plays Oklahoma every year and other top 10 teams.
Bragging about being in the SEC is such a joke at this point. Quit living vicariously through the accomplishments of a few much better programs. It would be like a TCU basketball fan bragging about KU’s accomplishments.
