FanNation's 2022 Preseason All-SEC List: Mizzou's Selections & Projected Finish

FanNation has revealed its Preseason All-SEC selections.

The Missouri Tigers and coach Eli Drinkwitz have some things to fix in order to secure the program's first winning season since 2018 and bounce back from a 6-7 record a season ago.

There's optimism surrounding Drinkwitz's ability to bring Mizzou out of the SEC cellar after some promising performances last season, but there's equal pessimism associated with some of the losses.

Entering his third year with the team, Drinkwitz still has a lot to prove, evident by the way many preseason projections view the Tigers this season. 

Sports Illustrated's FanNation recently revealed its Preseason All-SEC selections and projected finishes for each team. 

To no surprise, Alabama led all teams with 12 total selections, while Georgia had eight total. 

Mizzou has just two players on the list, but both are first-team selections. 

Note: Missouri's selections are in bold
