BISCUIT INDEX | MISSOURI TIGERS

From episode 93, Hammer dives deep into the overall health of the Missouri Tigers football program. Can Eli Drinkwitz get Mizzou back to double-digit wins in 2026? What is the state of the program as we stand today? Hammer breaks it all down. The Biscuit Index™️ (Formerly 16-in-16s) is a method of assessing the overall health of each SEC program. It's unlike anything you'll find in college football media, and we take into account many metrics in formulating our Biscuit Rating. We will be doing two a week on Biscuits & SEC LIVE until right before the beginning of the 2026 season. Tune in each week! Criteria we assess when coming up with our Biscuit Rating for each program: Administration NIL Resources Fan Support Facilities Coaching Staff Roster Construction & Talent Level (Including Bud Elliott's Blue Chip Ratio) Last Five Seasons Previous Five Recruiting Classes/Portal Classes Long-term Outlook Momentum What Went Wrong in 2025 What Went Wrong in 2026 2026 Season Outlook Biscuit Index Ratings Guide: 1 biscuit: So damn dry it falls apart like you were a soldier in the Civil War eating hardtack, and it tastes like the dirt in grandma’s compost pile. 2 biscuits: It cannot get much worse; like a biscuit from a restaurant in the northeast, a true fraud. 3 biscuits: perennial bottom tier; burned nearly beyond recognition and better used as a hockey puck, sorrey! 4 biscuits: There’s not many worse than us...we’ve got a long way to go; Your third cousin sent some mix in the mail and you bake them, eat half of one, and throw it out. 5 biscuits: pretty dang burnt, but you can cut the top off and eat it like a silver lining. There’s a little hope. 6 biscuits: Right in the middle, there’s some hope, but it’s mostly bland; They look right, but they don’t taste like much. 7 biscuits: Ascending...the program has hope and momentum and has a shot to take a step up; There’s not much fast food around, so Burger King will have to do. It strives for the best, and with a few tweaks, it can be competing with the best. 8 biscuits: Nipping at the heels of the elite; McDonald’s did a damn good job this morning. 9 biscuits: Dark horse to win the conference; Pillsbury Golden Flaky layers. Very good, and with a few more layers would be elite. 10 biscuits: Top tier and feeling good. It won’t take much to take an SEC division title or the whole conference. This is Chick-Fil-A, it’s Saturday, and the minis are poppin’. 11 biscuits: Elite. Flip between one and two in the conference each year and you aren’t going anywhere. You’re here to stay, like Hardee’s biscuits. Or Popeye’s. Or Bojangles. 12 biscuits: It doesn’t get any better than this...you’re a perennial power occupying rare air; It’s Christmas morning and Grandma just made her 100-year-old family recipe, and there are bacon and eggs, butter and jam.
