Blog Poll
This reminds me that RMN used to do their own Blog Poll, is this something we might be interested in resuming?
Around the SEC - Eastern Division Preview - Roll 'Bama Roll
Missouri Tigers (9-3, 5-3 SEC) This defense has lost a few key parts, but I think they'll be okay. Maty Mauk manages to be one of the more known quantities at QB in the East, and a friendly non conference schedule (bye, Blake Bortles!) helps the Tigers cruise to what I think should be a pretty successful third season in our fine conference. Wins: South Dakota St, @Toledo, UCF, Indiana, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, @Texas A&M, @Tennessee, Arkansas Losses: @South Carolina, Georgia, @Florida

South Dakota State Coach John Stiegelmeier possesses the best running back in the Football Championship Subdivision in the form of senior Zach Zenner.
The Missouri football team has lost some of its star wide receivers from last year, and the statistics show a big loss of production.

No more beards and mullets for Mizzou football players | The Kansas City Star
Missouri’s Evan Boehm and Maty Mauk, along with any other Tigers willing to join, had planned to grow bushy beards with epic mullets during the 2014 season. However, the coaching staff put the kibosh on the "Beards and Mullets" movement ahead of the Aug. 30 season opener.
Quarterbacks coach Andy Hill summed up the difference in the race to back up Maty Mauk in one word: "consistency."
