In your dreams. :)

We'll probably find out later this year...if you get past MU.

How does everyone think MU stacks up?

I thought you were going to say the SEC was playing.

My opinion as an outsider is that they don't have the weapons to compete with the talent on these teams although they're good enough that it shouldn't be embarrassing.

Pretty much. They've closed the gap a tad talent wise, certainly scheme wise on defense, but Pinkel's insistance on running a pure spread attack holds Mizzou back, imo. They are what they are every year - an 8-10 win team that won't win the Big XII.

Pinkel needs to add a couple of formations. He is stubborn. By the way he was on my flight this summer seemed like a really nice guy. Flew coach and didn't even sit next to his family lol (saving money I guess). I'll put it this way I got the cheapest freaking flight I could find and he had the same seats I did except they split the family apart.

What about in the North how does MU stack up against Nebraska?

The pro set might be good for Gabbert, but whatever system they run, they don't have a big-time runningback or game-breaking receiver. They could really use their own Daniel Thomas and maybe TJ Moe will be something but he's not Franklin or Macklin or Denario Alexander and I don't think there's a Rucker or a Coffman at tight end.

It's a road game I think. I'm not expecting much from Missouri in that one, as much as I hate nebraska.

As much as I hate to say it as a Mizzou guy, it looks like Nebraska has the edge with their offense vs. our d, and our d vs. their offense. Now, having said that, Nebraska looks like they could turn into a streaky team if things don't go their way, and as good a coach as Pellini is, he is volatile if things are tight, and that could not translate well to the players if he's stressing in a big game. It's hard to say since Nebraska really hasn't been tested yet. Mizzou, on the other hand, seems to have that nasty habit of playing up or down, depending on the team.

I fully expect a Mizzou loss in Lincoln this year. Maybe not by much, but a loss.

Big 10 can blow me.

Less talented teams Big 12 teams have been beating these teams, especially Texas, since the Big 12 was formed. Despite having the best talent basically every season, Texas has only won the Big 12 two or three times.

Every team in the Big 12 this year looks like they could lay an egg and lose any given game. I wouldn't bet money on MU beating OU this year, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Missouri doesn't play Texas. They play Oklahoma and Nebraska back-to-back, one home, one road. Those were the teams I was referring to there...

I'm not sure I like the odds for the Tigers in either of those games, although I hope they win them both. I'd probably favor them in every other game on their schedule although at aTm and at Texas Tech will both be trouble.

(nasty four games in a row there)

If OU does not learn how to put away teams, MU may very well beat them. Last two weeks, they have had 14pt 4th quarter leads and let the other team back into the game.
