I finished my SEC previews last week for SB Nation — you can find a list of all my previews here — and I have good news and bad news.
The good news is that Missouri is all but guaranteed to improve again in Barry Odom’s second season. Per the numbers, the Tigers improved last year, too, even if the win total crept down a notch. But this year, they are projected to be a borderline top-50 team again, and if the defense gels, top-40 (or, technically, top-30) is possible.
The bad news: thanks to returning production, nearly everyone in the SEC is projected to improve.
