If Mizzou takes care of business on Saturday and beats Arkansas, they’ll move to 15-3 overall and 4-1 in the SEC conference. The Tigers sent a shot across the bow by beating kU at home in December, but the real marker was their upset win at Florida. Beating Arkansas will almost certainly move them into the AP top 25 poll. And as Sammy noted yesterday, CBSSports’ Gary Parrish already inserted them into his Top 25 & 1 poll.
If you start at the beginning of January, Missouri would be ranked as the 13th best team in the country per BartTorvik.
