Yeah. There's something about the way Missouri plays that corrupts his prediction regarding the Tigers.
Not sure if it is related to the spread offense, which is able to plug and play guys in at WR and RB and even QB a little more easily than a more traditional offense. But that makes a little sense to me. Steele has predicted HUGE drop offs for Mizzou after losing Daniel, then again after losing Gabbert. He also didn't see much improvement coming for 2010, despite the Tigers returning basically everything except for Danario Alexander.

Oh, come on Pitt, you're better than that, read the context of what he was saying. He said that 10 years was a good measure of a program, especially compared to what they were before, and now the merits of that 10 years has made them an SEC team. There are two implications in that: First, people always assume the top of the SEC when they throw around a genreic statement like that, they aren't talking about Vanderbilt. Second, it implies that MU's football play is what got them the invite. If A&M doesn't go, MU gets no invite. If Missouri doesn't have St. Louis and KC, WVU get that invite.

Jusy subtlty, I guess, never mind. You guys can go back to circle jerking yourselves on the "accomplishments of the program".

Do you not consider those to be SEC teams? Do you consider Kansas to be a Big 12 team?

It's easy to convince yourself that you state having no cities is to blame, but Nebraska is in a major conference now too. If your team had a respectable football program they may have had options even without a major market. |

I read it as ... dark-age era Missouri football would have never received an invite to the SEC because the football was so atrocious. A respectable football program definitely made Mizzou more attractive to the SEC than it otherwise would have been.

Do you really think that WVU and TCU were invited to the Big XII because the conference wanted to lock down West Virginia and Texas markets?

Nebraska had the opportunity to move conferences without major television areas because their football program is a national brand, not just regional.

West Virginia is a big national brand, I guess. I see Mountaineer fans everywhere I travel.
