The new AP and USA Today Top 25 football polls are out, and despite not playing a game this past weekend, the University of Missouri Tigers moved up in both.
Missouri was No. 16 in both polls, following their 34-12 win on October 21 over South Carolina.
But in this week’s polls, the Tigers have moved up to No. 14, which is the highest Mizzou has been ranked since the 2014 team was ranked in that same spot in the final poll of the season.
The Tigers (7-1) will face their stiffest test of the 2023 season, this Saturday, when they’ll head down to Athens to face No. 1-ranked Georgia (8-0).
