This is the general thought I've heard from most Alabama fans - but I'm curious as to why that is. To me, Mizzou has pretty clearly been the better program recently. Here's what they look like over the past 10 years:
Texas A&M (64-60)
Mizzou (81-47)
H2H - Mizzou leads 5-1
National Scoring Defense Rank:
2011: Mizzou 44, TAMU 70
2010: Mizzou 6, TAMU 34
2009: Mizzou 59, TAMU 105
2008: Mizzou 69, TAMU 114
2007: Mizzou 37, TAMU 50
2006: Mizzou 33, TAMU 44
National Scoring Offense Rank:
2011: Mizzou 30, TAMU 11
2010: Mizzou 43, TAMU 34
2009: Mizzou 49, TAMU 19
2008: Mizzou 6, TAMU 64
2007: Mizzou 8, TAMU 57
2006: Mizzou 20, TAMU 34
There's clearly a better team here, but it ain't Texas A&M.
