I thought that Mizzou had beaten a ranked team.

Their West division opponents were Texas A&M and Arkansas, neither of whom are ranked. Georgia beat them and they are the only other ranked East division team. They didn't play any ranked teams in the non-conference.

That's crazy.

I like that prediction and Phil knows his football.

Yep, he's been more right than not and it isn't really close either.

I'd take it right now.

I hope we hang more than 40 on them. I'm a lil concerned with all the love the media is giving to us that it may end up being billboard fodder for the Zou ... but I'm believing our boys will be focused with whats on the line. Its win or go home from here on out so go be champions, young men!

Has anyone picked Mizzou?

Here is the prediction from ESPN analysts. All 6 picked Bama to win. http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/tag/_/name/game-predictions-120414

Phil's a good writer. If Alabama plays its game, it will be a two-touchdown+ victory as he predicts. A win keeps us in the playoffs no matter the score, so I would be thrilled if we can just win by one point against the tigers, with hopefully no more injuries.

Yeah im also skeptical of the stat I keep seeing scroll across the bottom of the screen on ESPN. Amari Cooper has had 7 100 yard receiving games this year. Missouri has only allowed one 100 yard receiving game. But when you consider their opponents, they haven't faced a WR nearly as talented as Cooper.

Yeah, the schedule they've played hast been good. I looked at the game against UK, and well, not that good. But they have succeeded where people thought they'd fail. If Arky though would have kept running the ball after halftime we'd be talking about UGA right now.

Every way I compare the team stats, Alabama wins by 2 scores - and that without accounting for Alabama's more difficult schedule. If Alabama loses this game, they will have Clemsoned.

If we come to play and go into "Beast Mode" as Coach Saban puts it we win by 14+, but if we come in not ready to play it will be a close game.

I hope he is right. He picked Bama to win it all yesterday on Finbaum.

Mizzou's opponents' top receiver each week:

South Dakota State: Jake Wieneke, 6 catches 107 yards
Toledo: Alonzo Russell, 6 catches 89 yards
UCF: Rannell Hall, 8 catches 73 yards
Indiana: Shane Wynn, 6 catches 60 yards
South Carolina: Nick Jones, 5 catches 72 yards
Georgia: Michael Bennett, 5 catches 53 yards
Florida: Demarcus Robinson, 4 catches 48 yards
Vanderbilt: Steven Scheu, 6 catches 81 yards
Kentucky: Stanley Williams, 5 catches 58 yards
Texas A&M: Josh Reynolds, 5 catches 125 yards
Tennessee: Pig Howard, 8 catches 90 yards
Arkansas: Hunter Henry, 4 catches 48 yards

On the season, Mizzou gives up 5.92 yards per attempt but 10.08 yards per completion. Like you said, they haven't faced a WR with Coop's ability thus far. We'll need to control their speed rushers to give Blake time to throw, but we should be able to do well in the air.
