Question

Will Mizzou suffer the Sports Illustrated jinx? Are they truly title contenders as the cover says?

Answer 1

Well I think Missouri is a title contender even if they lose here today

think how crazy last season was with top 5 teams getting beat everywhere every week

well how about this say Missouri loses today at least they got it out of the way early as early as possible in fact then they go on to win the rest of their games and make it to the Big 12 Championship with a record of 11-1, if they win Big 12 a 12-1 record is mighty appealing to play in the National Championship

however realistically Missouri will win this game make it to the Big 12 Championship and lose to Oklahoma again maybe not but that is this OU fans wish

Answer 2

SI rarely gets it right.

There is a whole season ahead of us to find out if it's true.

Oklahoma is going to have something to say about it for sure.

Answer 3

Well, they have an unbelievable team. Chase Daniel is a top Heisman candidate, Chase Coffman is one of the best TE's in the nation, Jeremy Maclin is the best all-purpose guy in the nation, they have solid lines on both sides of the ball, they have a very good line backing crew, and an amazing secondary led by a future 1st round pick William Moore. The season is definitely going to be fun and don't hesitate to think that they can continue to score 30+ a game, because they are definitely able to. I think that if they get through three games, they have a great shot in the title contention. Those games are against Illinois (tonight), Texas, and Oklahoma (would have to be in the Big 12 championship). If they can edge out these opponents, than I believe they are definitely true contenders. However, there are plenty of good teams this year who have a shot, so it will not be easy. It is gonna be a fun ride though!
