When Bill C drops an SP+ update we all tune in and listen. Mizzou landed at 21st, which if the season ended tomorrow and they were 21st I’d consider that a solid season to be honest. To come off back to back 10 win seasons, turn over as much production on offense as they have and still finish in the top 25 would be a very good sign for the program under Eli Drinkwitz.
If you’ll recall, Bill’s rankings are based upon returning production, recent recruiting, and recent history. Missouri’s bag in all three is mixed, but mostly because their returning production took a hit on the offensive side of the football.
