Missouri looked, all things considered, pretty good against Texas A&M this past Saturday. They overcame a shaky start in the first half to exert their will for the final 20 minutes, coasting to a comfortable road win. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to keep them from slipping in some peoples’ minds.
With the new Associated Press poll coming every Monday, the Tigers slipped a couple of spots to No. 19, a fall likely aided by a lack of seeing the Tigers in action over the past few weeks. They were surpassed by fellow SEC brethren Alabama, who have been on fire as of late.
