I think it took aTm 16 days from "exploring options" to being officially a member of the SEC.

Saw another tweet that says the 13 team schedule was not taken well at the AD meeting in the SEC, and that no one wants to play with 13 teams, so adding #14 may have moved up on their schedule as well.

IF this happens with Mizzou, I will be curious to see how the cross division rivals are handled, and where we end up.

I think the easiest thing to do is to put us in the East, A&M in the West, and make us the cross-division rivals. IMO, Auburn actually wants us in the West, so they can go East, and get out of LSU and Bama's division. This would mean that Bama, would either lose their yearly game with Tenn, or the Iron Bowl.

Neither of which Bama wants to give up. I'd say this is probably one of the issues they are working out to get the votes they need to allow MU into the conference.

This makes sense. If the Tigers land in the West, football is tougher with both Alabama and LSU in their division. But basketball would be much more competitve. Alabama won the SEC West in bball last year but still did not make the tourney. If Mizzou lands in the East, I think they will competitive much faster, as Florida is only real powerhouse over there. (TN is done, and I put Georgia and SC on a similar level with Mizzou). Bball would be much tougher though with both Kentucky and Florida in the East.

Because of the Alabama situation in basketball last year the SEC voted to get rid of divisions in basketball. If you think Tennessee is done and Georgia/USC are cake-walks then you're nuts.

How did you get Georgia/USC are cake-walks out of him saying that they are on the same level as Mizzou?

Because Mizzou is a cake-walk.







:D

Wasn't implying that they are cake walks at all. Merely that if Mizzou was to play them, Mizzou would have a realistic shot at winning the game. Mizzou is not on the level of LSU, Bama, or Florida. If Mizzou was to beat one of them, it would be consider a big upset. If Mizzou was to beat Georgia on a Saturday afternoon, it might be an upset...but not a Sportcenter breaking news one.

So how is bball going to work then with 14 teams and no divisions? Will everyone play each other at least once? How will it be determined which opponents you play twice?

I am becoming more and more excited about the possibility of Mizzou playing in the SEC. Hopefully, it works out for Mizzou and the university can finally rid itself of Texas.

too lazy to look it up, what is Mizzou's record vs Texas in the Big XII?

Pretty sure Mizzou has won 9 of 12.

Mizzou is 5-17 all-time against Texas and 1-7 in the Big XII. I am just tired off Texas's off the field bullshit.

**** Texas and double **** Baylor.
