YOUR 2021 Missouri Football Predictions

August 31, 2021 by Rock M Nation Leave a Comment

NCAA Football: Purdue at Missouri
Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports

You’ve read every piece of Mizzou football content for the past 8 months so…what do you think?

We’ve previewed the team.

We’ve previewed the opponents.

We showed you the DNA of this football team.

We reviewed how many things need to go right for a magical season.

And, our Godfather Bill C. updated his SP+ numbers to accurately reflect the transfer portal, attrition, and injuries leading up to August 12th ($).

Here’s the part that you care about:

Updated Missouri Opponent SP+ Rankings

Those numbers in the “Opponent” column are preseason win probabilities, giving Missouri a projected win total of 6.39 wins (and 3.4 conference wins). The twelve opponents can be grouped into three buckets of win probability. They are:

Likely Wins

SEMO (93%), North Texas (85%), at Vanderbilt (81%), South Carolina (77%), Central Michigan (71%)

Toss-Ups

Tennessee (53%), at Boston College (48%), at Kentucky (44%), at Arkansas (35%)

Likely Losses

Texas A&M (21%), Florida (21%), Georgia (10%)

…yes, 3 of the 4 toss-ups are in the first five weeks of the season and are in a four-game window. Yikes.

BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK? That’s what I want to know.

Here are your questions, answer them in the comments below and let’s see what our educated readership thinks of this season:

1. What’s Mizzou’s record this year (head)?

2. What’s Mizzou’s record this year (heart)?

3. What youngster (freshman or sophomore not named Mookie Cooper) has a breakout year?

4. Mizzou knocks off either Texas A&M or Florida at home. Which one?

5. Mizzou loses to either Central Michigan, Boston College, or North Texas in non-con play. Which one?

6. Mizzou’s best conference game will be against _________?

7. Mizzou’s dumbest loss will be against __________?
