Once more: This is a look at 20 games in which a) the combined quality of Missouri and its opponent was really, really high (they're ranked in order of combined S&P+ percentile ratings), and b) Mizzou won.
Just three games into the 1976 season, Missouri had proven it was capable of absolutely anything. The Tigers had beaten two of the best teams in the country, pasting USC by three touchdowns and coming back to beat Ohio State with a backup quarterback. And in between, they had lost by 25 points to a pretty mediocre Illinois team.
