I don’t think any Mizzou fans thought this good. It was pretty much try to get to 8-9 SEC wins and get into the NCAAT. They are a legit 2nd weekend tournament team.

We were capable for a bad game on the road and really it was the worst we played all year. That looked like our floor. I don’t think Texas is all that good, they certainly didn’t play all that great tonight either. Frustrating low IQ basketball from the tigers, bad coaching decisions, and terrible fouls off the ball. Give credit to Texas for destroying us on 2nd chance pts.

SEC should just go to 9 game schedule, play 3 permanent rivals and then rotate the remaining 12 playing 6 on odd years, and 6 on even years and you play every single team home and away in a 4 year period. The SEC has too many ebbs and flows of programs being consistently good to have a random set schedule.

Not every team plays to their potential every week.

If we are talking highest of ceilings for every team or their A game, I probably would rank the teams that were vying for a playoff spot like this:

Ohio St

Next Tier no Particular Order:

Oregon, Georgia, Texas

Georgia obviously is really hard to rank with the QB injury.

Next tier in no Particular Order:
Notre Dame, Penn St, Alabama, Ole Miss, Arizona St

Next Tier:
Miami, South Carolina, Indiana, SMU

I will lump the Big 12 all together in the last tier Arizona St, Colorado, BYU, Iowa St but Arizona St was the best team at the end of the season. I think we saw Arizona St best effort come up just short.

Oregon was really good this season and consistently good. They ran into a buzzsaw in Ohio St that played to their ceiling in that first half when Oregon played their worst.

The matchups matter in getting to the CFP CG. I think we have a totally different final 4 if the teams were based off rankings over the auto bid seeding.

Shane acted like a baby back bitch and Bert would have kicked his arse if he actually tried to do anything.

You mean beat down by ou

Mehki Wingo wasn’t a 5* recruit and was a major contributor to the defense when he left, Mizzou also was coming off a terrible season

It was known that he wasn’t going to be a major contributor going into last season, and was probably our 5th best de last year. He is there physically, but needed the time to adjust to CFB. He played in 4 games and wasn’t really a factor this season. Someone is going to pay up to get him, and he is probably going to be a good player in 2 years. This hurts more the perception of Mizzou program after back to back good seasons losing instate 5* more than next year on the field. It’s just where cfb is with NIL and portal.

I would say his stats were definitely disappointing this season vs the expectations, but that was also our entire offense. Dude is a still a baller.

Was a good one that sparked the recent Mizzou success.

Finished 6th in yards, 4th in TDs, and 4th in receptions in 3 years
