This is a program in complete disarray. We thought that Drew Lock’s arrival as a quarterback combined with Barry Odom continuing the elite defense that Gary Danielson had installed would be enough for the Missouri Tigers to field a decent team this year.

But the dumpster fire of a football program has become a complete explosion, and they are in serious trouble. The Tigers were knocked out of bowl eligibility with their loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks this past Saturday, and now they are just playing for pride.

This team has been bad in every way. They’ve lost games due to terrible defense, they have lost due to terrible offense, and they have lost because of too many mistakes. They’ve lost to good teams, mediocre teams, and terrible teams.

And they have earned their spot at the bottom of our SEC Power Rankings.

In reality, the luck is just running out on this program. In their 2014 SEC East championships, they squeaked out four one-score wins in which the other team consistently made mistakes. The last two years, that’s come back to bite them.

Odom still deserves a chance to turn things around, but this season is a loss.
