The comments about Alabama being the best team in the country got me questioning. Looking only at conference wins, the top 4 teams so far shake out this way:
Alabama is 7-0 and played only one team in the top 1/2 of the conference so far. They played KY at home and won, they do have 4 road wins in conference but MU has the best conference record of any of those.
Tennessee is 6-1 and played only one team in the top 1/2 of the conference so far. They also played KY at home and it is their only loss. They also have 4 road wins but all against the bottom of the conference.
Auburn is 6-1 and played only one team in the top 1/2 of the conference so far. Florida is that team and Auburn beat them at home. Their loss was on the road to GA a middle of the pack team so far, and Auburn has 3 road wins against bottom teams.
A&M is 5-1 has road and home wins against Florida and a road loss at KY. So three games against top half of the conference. They have two road wins with the second being against SC.
Of note, none of these top 4 teams have yet played each other.
Mizzou has played 4 of the top half already, KY, A&M, FL and AL going 1-3. As said previously the schedule starts to lighten a bit as long as the team takes care of business against those bottom teams.
