C-Tier
Southeast Missouri State Redhawks
A beautiful bird of prey, the red-tailed hawk has sharp talons and has the advantage of flight. The hawk may only eat small rodents, but it can hold its own with dogs and other birds.
While the hawk may get the better of a gamecock or bulldog in a fight, SEMO would be out of their depth against South Carolina and Georgia on the field. The Redhawks visit Columbia for Week 3 of the season.
Boston College Eagles
A symbol of our nation, the bald eagle is as majestic as it is strong. The bald eagle will eat anything from fish, to small mammals, to other birds. The bird certainly ranks above the red-tailed hawk, but can’t stand up to some the opponents that you’ll find higher up this list.
Missouri will travel to Massachusetts to take on Boston College to cap off the month of September.
