Where Mizzou Football is Ranked After Week 14

After another close victory, the Missouri Tigers improved to 9-3 on the season and 5-3 in SEC play. Winning in close, fourth-quarter fashion was nothing new to this Tiger squad and they did exactly that, scoring 18 points in the final part of the game to propel them ahead.

The College Football Playoff is now out of reach for Missouri, but there is still plenty to play for. According to head coach Eli Drinkwitz, ending the season as a ranked team is a good indicator of the program's growth since his arrival in Columbia. It seems as if his wish will come true and Missouri will finish as a nationally ranked program.

Here's where the Tigers rank in this week's national polls.

The AP Poll will update accordingly at 1:00 p.m. CT.
