The No. 21 ranked Missouri Tigers (5-0, 1-0 SEC) are one win away from bowl eligibility heading into Saturday’s match up with the No. 23 LSU Tigers (3-2, 1-1 SEC), making it the most anticipated SEC game that Faurot Field has hosted in quite some time.
Mizzou’s win over Vanderbilt last week was their last win as a ranked team since September 19th, 2015 vs UConn. It was also Missouri’s first win in an SEC opener since 2019.
Missouri is currently one of 17 undefeated Power Five teams remaining and one of three from the SEC (Kentucky and Georgia), but the schedule gets real from here on out.
