Then the Tigers end October with a game in Kentucky.

The Wildcats surprised the hell out of everyone (including those in Lexington) by finishing 10-3 last season. Before 2018, it felt like head coach Mark Stoops was coaching for his job (probably because he was). Now, the team looks to build off a great season.

Not so fast, my friend!

The Wildcats will be licking their wounds coming into this game, already having lost three games: against Florida, against Mississippi State, and, just the week before, against Georgia. Mizzou will be looking to keep the pressure on, and will succeed, handing the Wildcats a fourth loss, more than they had all of last year.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs only have three games in October, all winnable games that Jake Fromm should dominate: at Tennessee, vs South Carolina, and vs Kentucky. Chalk ’em up as three conference wins.

Mizzou Record: 7-1 (3-1)

Georgia Record: 6-1 (4-0)
