10. Missouri

Last week rank: 14

Week 2 result: (1-1) 61-21 Win against Eastern Michigan

Is Missouri that good on offense or is Eastern Michigan that bad on defense?

Missouri fans haven’t seen an offensive explosion like that in a long time. Drew Lock looked poised and was highly efficient, throwing for 450 yards and 5 TDs in the game in which Missouri appeared to be able to play some football after a bad offensive performance against West Virginia in the opener. If Lock and the Tigers can keep it up, they could make some noise in the lousy SEC East.

Missouri has a great defense, the offense was always the question mark. After a 61 point effort, the Tigers have some confidence headed in to week three.
