No. 23: Missouri
COACH: Gary Pinkel
2014 RECORD: 11-3
PROJECTED 2015 RECORD: 12-2
CIRCLE THE DATE: Oct. 17 at Georgia
WHY NO. 23: Start with the schedule, which is Charmin soft. The Tigers open with nonconfernce games against Southeast Missouri State, Arkansas State and UConn. That’s 3-0. In the SEC, they don’t play Alabama, Auburn or LSU and play South Carolina, Florida and Mississippi State at home. Based on the schedule alone, the Tigers should be headed back to the SEC title game for the third time in four years.
