Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz has already caused a stir at SEC Media Days.
The Tigers’ head coach took a direct shot at the Big Ten, saying the B1G has been aided in winning three straight national titles by playing easy non-conference schedules.

Drinkwitz apparently forgot that Mizzou’s 2025 non-con games were against Central Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana-Lafayette and UMass.
The 2026 non-con schedule isn’t any tougher, with games against UAPB, Kansas and Troy.
You know what they say: don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.
