Lulz I think even Pepe enjoyed that one

Hell of a season for the Tigers

Just watched the highlights. Jesus, what a beating. How the hell did the piggies hang with Alabama? We beat them like they were a bad Division III team.

I may have to break out Tom Cruise for whatever bowl game we go to. :D

That was me, commenting about an article saying that the Tigers would win 10 games. I said that was their ceiling and 8 wins was their floor. I admit that I was being a homer at that point. But I'm glad that I turned out to be right

that's an arkansas receiver asking if they got spots open fyi LMAO

Well, Kentucky knocked off Louisville, so now all the pundits that have complained about Mizzou being ranked above Louisville in the CFP will quit their whining and moaning.

Louisville getting cooked online for that "they would beat Mizzou" shit they were talking ROFL

Deservedly so....losing on your home field against your traditional bitter rival in a year that you claim to be better than them.

Louisville looked past Kentucky and was focused on FSU hoping to see their small chance of a CFP spot magically occur with some upsets.

Problem was....they were the victim of one of those upsets.

Would have been nice to hold on and beat LSU but ultimately that loss isn't going to mean anything in the long run.

What a season. I definitely didn't see this one coming.

The offense diversified and took a great step forward. Much better play along the OL was a key there (thanks, Ryan Walters, for helping out there).

Cook unlocked a new level of play - still not good enough to lift Missouri to the highest levels, but considerably above what he did a year ago.

Just a pretty fun team. Hoping they get a good NY day matchup - not Tulane.

I imagine bama will pull out the win, but Auburn is hanging around

Wow. How can you allow that? CB didn't even make a play on the ball.

That bullshit ****s Mizzou hard. So goddamned stupid to give them all that time on 4th. You have to pressure the QB there.

Honestly, that should hurt them in the standings.

the CFP committee will never let that happen....they fear Sabin.

The only place to move is below Mizzou and imagine the crap storm that would occur in Bama land if they fell below MU.

Not really sure how. At worst they stay at #8. I don’t think them blowing out Auburn would have changed anything outside of maybe leapfrogging FSU if they happen to lose.

Couple it with a beatdown from GA and we should have something.

I fully expect Mizzou to move past them in the rankings if they get beatdown by Georgia, especially considering how close Mizzou played Georgia.

Oregon, Texas and Mizzou are the only Top 10 teams to have beat downs this weekend.

Even if Alabama falls below Mizzou, the Bowls will take a 2-loss Bama over Mizzou. Had they fallen to Auburn, then Mizzou gets a better look.

I don't think so.

Bama could lose 3 and still get into a NY6 bowl. And I don't think Mizzou is at real danger of NOT getting into one.

I don't think this changes much at all. Provided you see all the NY6 bowls (non-playoff) as equally situated.

CBS felt Missouri was more relevant than Arky, Ole Miss,Miss St, the shitty USC and Vandy. Not even included in the goodbye video. LMAO

Alabama could have lost by 50 to auburn, doesn’t change out NY6 bowl at all. Maybe we jump from 9 to 8, but doesn’t impact our bowl situation at all.

Zero chance that we don’t get a NY6 bowl. Mathematically or emotionally. I know ol miss thinks they have an argument….Mizzou is categorically recognized as a top 5 team.

Ole miss might have an argument to be included but I don't feel like Mizzou is the last team in anyway. I'm just not that worried.

Maybe I'm whistling past the graveyard a bit and 'because Mizzou' will bite us, but I don't feel like it. This team is a draw. Great WR group and maybe the best RB in the country (at least the resume competes with anyone) - a strong, fast, aggressive defense. What's not to like about them as a bowl selection committee?

They're fine.

Really what would've helped the most was Florida State losing.

That gives them the ACC slot in the selection bowl (orange, I think) so nobody has to select Louisville and then Louisville drops out. But with the ACC tie-in and FSU in the playoff, Louisville is still in.

But if Washington takes that 4th playoff spot and the Orange can take FSU, that would free up an at-large selection probably for ole-miss.

Missouri at #9 in the AP poll. Behind Alabama and in front of Penn State. They are the highest ranked 2 loss team.

I don’t see them dropping any the rest of the year. I do wonder if they could jump Alabama or Texas if they lose in their respective conference championship games. Genuinely interested to see who they play in their bowl. Would suck if they got stuck with Tulane or something like that.

I fully expect it to happen. That way if/when it does, I won't be nearly as pissed off as I was in the past.

THIS is what I expect to happen.

More prestigious bowl game against a boring opponent that we won't get up for and we'll end up losing to finish the season on a sour note.

There were a ton of Mizzou fans at the game the other day I started feeling bad for some of them.

You could not even talk shit. Anyone still around toward the end was a real one and deserved respect.

Honestly giving Mizzou a game against Tulane says a lot about what the committee thinks of what they accomplished this season. No knock on Tulane, but not giving them a better bowl game opponent would be a huge insult to their season.

OM getting waxed in their last loss really hurt them.

Bowls care about tickets and name brand.

Has anyone seen what the latest predictions are in regards to the bowl games?

I'm not in the mood to pay for ESPN+ just to see..

I view the Peach and Cotton Bowls as lesser based on what they've been the last 40 years. Archaic, perhaps, but I wanted a "BCS" bowl for them. No concern about NY6.

Last I saw they have Mizzou playing Tulane in the Peach Bowl.

Mizzou still 9. I’m curious where Kiffen and ol miss fans think they should magically move up three spots to take our NY6 bid? It doesn’t make any sense.

I'd rather play Ole Miss in the ****ing Outback Bowl...

God that Tulane matchup sucks.

It is and as I mentioned the other day having them play Tulane is insulting to Mizzou.

Mizzou on the list for Howard supposedly wow

KSU QB?

Yessir

Bowl projections for Mizzou seem to be all over the place

ESPN - Peach against Tulane
CBS - Peach against Penn State
USA Today - Cotton against Texas
FOX - Cotton against Penn State
247 - Cotton against Penn State

University of Missouri running back Cody Schrader was named one of three finalists for the 2023 Doak Walker National Collegiate Running Back Award, the PwC SMU Athletic Forum announced Tuesday.

Interdasting.

I’m not arguing with you but, why? Brady Cook isn’t Tom Brady but he’s about as established as a returning QB can be in college football.

Penn State in Dallas is my choice. Atlanta sucks. Most boring city in America.

The Athletic has Missouri vs Texas in the Cotton Bowl just to add one more projection.

I'd rather have Brady Cook than Will Howard.

That’s what I was saying. I’d rather have Brady cook, then Sam horn, then Gabarri Johnson before we took will Howard.

I'd rather have AIDS than Missouri going back to sucking personally.

All SEC awards are out. Coach Drink is SEC coach of the year. Burden, Schrader, KAD, Robinson, and Porter all SEC. I expected to see the thicker kicker on there as well, but I guess that he didn't make it

Not worth the effort but it’s hysterical how many people were pleading for Drink to lose his job. So glad the average dumbass Mizzou fan doesn’t run the AD.

Schrader is 115 away from breaking the Mizzou record set by Badie.

I'd like to think this may have some sway with the selection committee assholes, but it probably won't.

100% correct. We had people suggesting that if Cook started at QB, Drink should be fired. I'm not kidding.

It's as though some folks refuse to understand that 1) players can and do improve, and 2) coaches know FAR more about our players and are going to play the guys that give us the best shot at winning. They do the same ignorant nonsense with the Chiefs and it's just as mind-numbingly stupid then.

I'll never understand the need to rush to be the first to proclaim someone a bust.

Rumors are that Etienne may be transferring out of Florida and Mizzou is a strong contender.

And really, why wouldn't they be? Say what you will about Drink's passing philosophy (it's had its ups and downs) but Mizzou has run the football well since he's gotten here. And they've done it with far more marginal talents (Badie and Schrader) than Trevor Etienne.

And Drink, if he has a guy, WILL feed him the football. If you want a place to showcase your talent and a guy who sure seems to develop the running game really nicely, there aren't many better options than Mizzou.

With Schrader leaving (and Peat, IIRC), I expect Mizzou will definitely get an experienced rusher from the Portal. And I think they'll be strong contenders for anyone they want.

If Etienne is shopping, I could easily see him ending up here.

This explanation is correct in one portion of it......

(1) Players can and do improve.....but just as many regress or don't get better. In the case of Cook, he did get better....

What is interesting would be to see what aided in his improvement from last year.

Etienne and Rocket Sanders are the names I keep hearing.

Hadn't heard Sanders name. Boy he'd look nice; that's a big, fast kid that could really duplicate that hard running style from Schrader but add a little more breakaway element to it.

He's been what Peat was advertised as. Etienne is a bit shiftier but not as powerful. I think Drink may prefer Sanders.

Interesting comments here in Jacksonville on the local sports shows....

The talk is out there....especially as bad as Napier's teams have performed. It would not surprise me to see a couple of the better players find their way out even though no one has declared outside of Max Brown.

Georgia

Ashton Jeanty is the name I’ve heard.

:eek: That would be...incredible. I'm not sure who would be on my list of potential transfer backs, but I've always loved Etienne.

Somebody make this happen.

Looks like SMU is going to beat Tulane. Hopefully that takes them out of the discussion of being Mizzou's bowl opponent.

I hope Georgia losing doesn't **** us out of a good bowl.

Shouldn't.

Bama and UGA were going to the NYE6 either way. Only thing it could do is slightly boost Ole Miss's argument that they have better losses. Their 'Bama loss is now clearly better than our LSU loss, though it really already was.

What if both aren't in the college football playoffs? Wouldn't that effect the possible bowls we could get in?

The Athletic has Missouri vs Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl now.

That would be a great one to see.

Yeah I know the projections don't mean anything until all the games are played tonight but that game in particular was pretty intriguing.

I’d be 100% down for that. They’re very good, they’d be a great measuring stick for our program, and I’m not a fan of Dan Lanning.

Guesses on the line? I bet we’d be getting 5-6 at least.

Doubt Nix plays in the bowl

That just changes Tulane to Liberty

Liberty beat MTSU by more than Missouri did!

(Which obviously doesn't mean anything in college football)

So, if you’re a Mizzou fan watching this Florida State game, who do you root for?

On one hand, if FSU wins, they likely stay in the playoff, probably Texas gets in as the 4th and that puts 2 SEC teams (Bama & Georgia) in NY6 bowls (non-playoff). Would the non playoff bowls really take 3 SEC teams, with the 3rd being Mizzou?

On the other hand, if Louisville beats Florida State, Louisville is guaranteed a NY6 bowl and likely leaps Mizzou, and FSU maybe still also gets a NY6 bowl even though not in playoff?

As a Mizzou fan watching this game, I’m not sure who to root for. :shrug:

As a Mizzou fan you definitely want FSU to win. That can't hurt Mizzou in any way.

Louisville winning, OTOH, could be a real problem.
