Florida Gators

Not much needs to be said about this apex predator. These huge beasts can trace their ancestry back to the age of the dinosaurs, and in one bite they can give you a one-way ticket to meet the dinosaurs.

Florida has given Missouri troubles over the past few years, but the Tigers have a chance to right the ship when the Gators visit Columbia on November 20.

Central Michigan Chippewas

The Gator might be a force on its own, and the same can be said of a wildcat or volunteer. But none of them stand a chance against an entire group of the Chippewa. The Chippewa tribe have over 170, 742 members living in America, as of 2010.

Suffice to say, the Chippewa win by numbers alone.

Unfortunately for Central Michigan, Missouri seems primed for a win as they open their season against the Chippewas on September 4.
