The Wiz of Odds

Missouri

A lot of people in the college football world laughed when Missouri joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012. How could this longtime middle-of-the-pack Big 12 team possibly contend in the almighty SEC? It didn't take long. The Tigers have won the past two SEC Eastern Division titles.

Team Entrance Videos, Part 1

Love them or hate them, nearly every major college team now has an entrance video to play on their supersized video board. Here's a look at 30 team entrance videos, broken into three posts.

The Mother of All Season Ticket Videos List, Part 1

When there's nothing else to sell, there's always hope. We've combed through YouTube to find the best 34 season ticket videos. It's broken into three posts because if we put them all in one, it would take forever to load.

Teams featured in part 1: Kentucky, South Carolina, Northwestern, Missouri, Arizona, North Carolina State, Idaho, East Carolina, Louisiana Tech, Temple, Kansas State and New Mexico State.

Terrific poster from Missouri. The extreme horizontal format doesn't play well on the site, so this blogger suggests clicking the image and taking a look at the enlarged view.

As for the Tigers' 2012 season, it didn't go as planned. Injuries piled up and the team's depth was severely tested. In the end, Missouri finished 5-7 and missed the postseason for the first time since 2004.

But is this the surprise team of 2013? The Tigers have a realistic shot of starting 5-0. What follows — at Georgia, at home against Florida and South Carolina — will likely determine if Missouri has what it takes to be a contender in Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference.

Thanks to Scott.
