Stewart Mandel took his shot at predicting the SEC standings for the 2024. It is not so much that he poor mouthed the Missouri Tigers, he basically ignored their existence. Here is a link to the story ... https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5698922/2024/08/14/sec-college-football-standings-predictions/
Not digging too deep into the mind of Stewy, but I would assume that he gives Missouri the nod in the following games ... Murray State, Buffalo, Vanderbilt, UMass, Arkansas, Mississippi State. Then figures Missouri only wins two of the remaining six games against Boston College, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Alabama, Auburn and South Carolina. From there I would guess that South Carolina could be counted as a win as will Boston College. Leaving Missouri with losses to Alabama, Auburn, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
As the saying goes ... that's why they play the games.
