Yeah, I truly believe that Missouri is going to jump right back into that top-10 range this week after dominating Tennessee on Saturday evening.

After Louisville was mediocre and nearly lost at home to Virginia, I was ready to put whoever won the Missouri vs. Tennessee game in the 10 slot and it only helps that two top-10 teams dropped.

I think we’ll see the Tigers jump Louisville despite the Cardinals winning and improving to 10-1 on the season. The Tigers’ win was just far more impressive.

Brady Cook had a solid 275-yard, one-touchdown performance against Tennessee and the run game led by Cody Schrader really paved the way for a 36-7 win.

Missouri may be the most improved team in the country this season and what the Tigers keep doing week in and week out deserves praise.

This is a top-10 team.
