Good win or good loss more important? I know we need to do our part still or its irrelevant.

mizzou already devalued and SC value growing

Either way, want them both to win out (as well as us)

We need to win out in season and CCG. Don't back in.

Last I heard, Brady Cook was doubtful. Mizzou isn't winning if he doesn't play.

Mizzou in the shocker

I think a great home win over Missouri is more important. While we were coming off a tough 21-17 win over Arkansas, Missouri was coming off a bye week before playing their first road game. We dominated Missouri from start to finish.

Missouri is 7-2 (3-2 SEC), but all of their Power 4 wins over Boston College, Vanderbilt, Auburn, and Oklahoma were at home and decided by 7 points or fewer. Missouri has won 5 (3-0 home and 2-0 away) straight games against South Carolina, including all 4 under Eliah Drinkwitz, but Missouri was outscored 75-10 in their 2 SEC road games at Texas A&M and Alabama. In contrast, South Carolina has won 3 straight games against Oklahoma (away), Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt (home) by a combined score of 107-36. For these reasons, Missouri is a 12-point road underdog at South Carolina.

I think South Carolina will crush Missouri to snap a 5-game losing streak to Missouri and knock them out of playoff contention by dropping them to 7-3 (3-3 SEC). Missouri should win a road game at Mississippi State on 11/23, but their home game against Arkansas on 11/30 is a tossup. This means Missouri will finish either 8-4 (4-4 SEC) or 9-3 (5-3 SEC).

South Carolina will likely win 4 consecutive games before a tossup game at Clemson. This means South Carolina will finish either 8-4 (5-3 SEC) or 9-3 (5-3 SEC).

Think USCe beats them easily as I think Mizzou has been over-rated all yr long (now esp if Cook is hurt). Think it continue to devalue our win over them (big win for us as helped gel the team, so still important from our perspective). Think LSU could be a bit overvalued still (as many predicting UF gonna surprise LSU this wkend).

Wonder if they redo SOS, but by the time we play tu, think ours will have plummeted in the court of public perception.

Know Aub alumns who still think they will still beat us in Auburn (that we don't play SEC well at away games).

also has to do with margin of victory and loss between those games too. We whooped mizz and got whooped by SC (and officials)

depends on if Mizzou can beat Arky and if SC takes down clemson. Would suck if SC took Mizzou out of the rankings and Clemson took SC out of the rankings

So I agree we need a Mizzou win here and for them both to win out after

Without Cook Mizzou has almost no chance imo.

Would rather have top 15 win paired with top 25 loss, but is there really that much difference in that and top 15 loss with top 25 win. I think the committee just looks at 1-1 vs top 25 in that case and honestly it doesn't seem they even look at that right now with current rankings
