This could be a game between two five-win teams desperate for a sixth victory.
- Sept. 24: Delaware State (100%)
What I’m calling stage three of the Mizzou schedule — Stage 1: the likely 2-2 start, Stage 2: two rugged road games, Stage 3: four straight winnable games, Stage 4: two rugged closing games — ends with a visit from Vanderbilt.
There’s a good chance that we know Mizzou’s fate by this point; if stage three has gone well, then the Tigers will perhaps already be bowl eligible by the time the Commodores come to town.
