Basically it’s Texas, Georgia, and Bama at the top, then almost everyone else in whatever order you want, then a tier of Vandy, A&M, and Auburn, and finally Arkansas

Edit: I think I reverse jinxed Arkansas

With what? You got beat at home by a good, but definitely not great Miss State team. Mizzou is not top tier.

That was on the road. You didn't see they set the record for cowbells?

Mizzou should under no circumstances be below Florida

My mistake for that. I was thinking of the Miss State/Carolina game (which Miss State won on the road).

I agree Mizzou is better than Florida. But OPs point wasn’t a power ranking of the entire SEC 1-16. It was saying that there are clearly 3 teams at the top, and then a bunch of other teams behind them in an order that will change week to week, and then a few teams at the bottom.

As of today, that generalization is accurate, and Mizzou is in the middle group. Your team will have plenty of opportunities to prove him wrong this season.

In replying to you saying the middle is whatever order you want. Who is putting Florida, Scar and Oklahoma above LSU, Tenn or Mizzou?

If it makes you feel better, I think mizzou is probably towards the top of that middle group.

But the point is that we just don’t have enough data points to reliably rank them. What is mizzous claim to fame? Beating bad Florida and Texas AM teams? Ok then Florida towards the bottom. Well what about Ole Miss? Florida smoked them so they need to be at the bottom but the rebels beat LSU. You think Tennessee should be towards the top? The same Tennessee that got into a rock fight with a bad Auburn and is currently losing to Arkansas? Oklahoma towards the bottom when they’re currently tied with #1 Texas in fourth quarter?

It is 100% an objective cluster in the middle, and mizzou is part of that cluster. Enjoy it.
