Missouri: 8-4 (4-4)
Losses: @ Kentucky, @ Georgia, Tennessee, @ Arkansas
Breakdown: The Tigers from the East who are actually to the west of the Tigers from the West will certainly have their chances to win their third straight SEC East title, but I think this year is finally the year where the lost starters catch up with the Tigers.

The offense will be based almost exclusively on the ground game as there is practically no experience in the Tigers receiving corps, plus quarterback Maty Mauk has been one of the least consistent players in the country these past two seasons.
Many predict the Tigers to be 6-0 entering their matchup with Georgia, but I personally believe they will be upset by Kentucky when they go to Lexington on the fourth Saturday of the year.
If Missouri can’t figure out an answer on offense, this will be the end of their run of SEC East titles.
