Missouri
I thought about including Texas A&M on this list just because of how cringe worthy some of their antics are. But at least the Aggies have something organic that fans across the country can recognize.
Missouri on the other hand adds nothing of value to the conference for a multitude of reasons.
And no, one of the reasons isn't competitiveness because the Tigers have been a thorn in Florida's side since joining the SEC.
But the problem, for starters, is that their fans do not care unless Missouri is good. Their stadium seats 62,000, but as recently as 2021, they struggled to crack 50,000. Meanwhile Florida will still show up 90,000 strong during a 5-7 campaign.
Missouri is geographically a mess to get to within the SEC, closer to Lincoln, Nebraska than they are to literally anyone else within the SEC.
And Missouri adds nothing iconic to the conference for anyone to latch onto. They are the third team called the Tigers; real original there. If they had a cool gesture, I wouldn't know because anytime they play the Gators, they spend half their time doing the Gator Chomp.
Again, this list is about who would Gator fan not miss if they left the SEC and Missouri is for sure on that list.
