Missouri football fans seem to be wrestling with a perception problem as Saturday's game against Kentucky nears.
The Tigers are favored by a touchdown, according to most of the Las Vegas sports books.
This is the best Kentucky team Mizzou has encountered since its shift to the SEC. UK is ranked 12th in the nation. If you have not heard, third-year Tigers coach Barry Odom has never beaten a ranked team. He has zero wins in six attempts. Odom's Tigers have been outscored 254-122 in their six losses against ranked teams since 2016.
UK's ranking is legitimate.
