I gotta think A&M OU and Bama are Mizzou’s Toughest opponents and as a Mizzou fan that is just praying Brady Cook stays healthy till then

[@tylercollins3130]

I love that Mizzou is under the radar. I wouldn’t want another way. STP! MIZ!

[@ThatSECPodcast]

Thanks for watching!

[@ronthecon9772]

Agree being under the Radar is better. I never understood my fellow Mizzou fans getting all upset because We don't get the PR like the Blue Bloods. Why get all bent out of shape and crave Preseason attention. Just Win and the rest will take care of it's self.

Not under the radar, overrated if anything. Had a 2022 TCU season, that momentum isn't going to transfer into next season.

[@spidaman0112]

Problem with Arkansas is at anytime they can show up motivated monsters or like they didn't practice.

[@Ryan-mx2kr]

@@spidaman0112 you forgot the part about them having very little talent to compete with most SEC teams

[@thegardenhutch5833]

I agree with Heartbrokenhawg, Oklahoma State is the most important game because the fan base is perhaps the most fickle in the country, they are just looking for a reason to turn on Pittman. Hopin for a great season. #WPS!

[@ThatSECPodcast]

Great points here, thanks for sharing!

[@andrewlyon3597]

Kentucky's defensive front will likely be very stout, but South Carolina's defensive front could also cause issues for Kentucky. Cats haven't scored more than 16 points on a Clayton White-led defense since his arrival in the 2020 offseason, and the Gamecocks are deeper across the board in the regard this year. TJ Sanders & Tonka Hemingway are a great interior DL duo. Kyle Kennard, Dylan Stewart and Gilber Edmond will provide more juice on the edge. Debo Williams will have a ton more help this season at linebacker with Bam Martin-Scott, Demetrius Knight, Bangally Kamara and hopefully a healthy Mo Kaba, along with several promising freshmen. That group is going to surprise a lot of folks across the league. It wouldn't shock me if this game against Kentucky is one where the first team to 20 points wins.

[@VolsTime]

I'm a huge Vols fan! However, how great would it be in college football if Mississippi State went undefeated? Can you imagine ESPN freaking out?

[@jjody4267]

I’m gonna throw mustard back at you.

[@augustuspalmer4844]

I said this about OU the other day in the comments tennesse is pivotal on how the rest if the season plays out

[@robertcapps365]

Texas and a&m shouldn't be much of a rival. They couldn't even keep there southwestern conference going. First conference to fail. Ou and nebraska always kept the big eight going and I guess felt sorry for both teams and let them come join the big eight. Joke and boys check the ou mizzou win loss record. I don't even think they won more than thirty games in the series. That lopsided win total is not a rival. Yea they might be good a couple years in twenty but I don't see them doing much better unless they can sustain there nil packages every year

[@nathanstruble2177]

I'm foolishly getting married the day of the Mizzou Oklahoma game, so you better believe it's gonna be on at the wedding!! M I Z!!

[@ThatSECPodcast]

There is always time to delay the wedding! Haha Just kidding, congrats!

The last time Ole Miss brought a top ranking into Williams Brice, they took home an L. Please assume you will get an easy W at Carolina. Please do that.

[@alec4699]

OU still haunts Missouri from the big12 days I see.. those ass beats stung for this long eh

[@nathansummerville3972]

You guys are completely wrong on A&M. Notre Dame is the most important game on their schedule. It is an immediate litmus test for this team and sets the tone for the entire season. Now, I can see A&M being UTAs most important game when they limp into College Station at 8-3. I expect them to leave at 8-4 and A&M to finish around 10-2. UTA is not a rivalry game for us.

[@ThatSECPodcast]

You must be new here, we are wrong a lot

[@nathansummerville3972]

@@ThatSECPodcast 😂 Just wanted the world to know that Aggies do not see the UTA game as anything more than another SEC game now. We pity them more than anything.

[@davedodson8175]

OU beat Tennessee at Knoxville. OMG, Mike, OU didn't just start playing football, geez.

[@ROUGHNECK75]

Mike is silly Bro

[@nathanstruble2177]

9 years ago in 2OT after rallying back into a game they weren't really in. But yes, credit where it is due, they beat 2015 Tennessee, putting them in the lofty ranks of Arkansas

[@tarheeledsooner3920]

Carolina D is going to humiliate Kentucky. That is one of the biggest games of the year. Both teams seasons hang on that game.

Why is it called the Sunglasses Bowl? Is it always played at noon?

Napier might want to make the suffering last longer by going slow. That’s what I would tell people if I were a Gators fan anyway. 😂

Oklahoma owns Mizzou!!! Sooners win big in the battle for the Tiger/Sooner PiecePipe

[@BranDZ7]

Oklahoma is the only team that plays all the top teams in the sec. Everyone else seems to have a weak schedule.

[@spencerwarren9219]

Dame if gaytors lose to hurricane. It will be massively over for sunbelt billy. They will be lucky to win 5 even if they win that game. If they lose 4 wins at most most likely 3. I could even see ucf beat gaytors. No way billy survives this and once fired mid season the team will check out.

[@michaelrose7572]

Boomer Sooners

[@shawnkurtz4424]

For me, OU is that game. We can finally prove we aren't just gonna get kicked around anymore. Drink has proven he can find talent from HS and the portal. Gone are the days of Gary Pinkel recruting in the 30s and overachieving based off scheme. Like its so funny to me to see OU fans get so bent out of shape whenever a recruit has the "nerve" to choose a "lower class" school over their precious god-given Sooners. M-I-Z

[@HeadlessAce]

Midzou has only bested OU in the portal 1 time since 2020. HS recruiting, it’s not even close!!!

[@janL1992]

I seriously don’t understand this narrative that OU and its fanbase don’t understand the difficulty of playing an SEC schedule. Only the casuals think it’s a cakewalk. The rest of us are well aware.

[@scottmenze2704]

The narrative is because of the vocal idiots. They're the same one's that believe you are gonna waltz into COMO and trounce MIZZOU because you had 50 year run of dominance that ended with our transition to the SEC. Good luck. Hopefully everyone stays healthy to make for a great contest
