Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz frequently said early on in the 2024 season that expectations are simply just expectations. That last season is last season and the 2024 team would have to do just as much work to reach their goals.

Seems like he was right.

Missouri was ranked as high as No. 6 in the AP Poll and No. 8 in the Coaches Poll. A 27-21 win over Boston College in Week 3 propelled it to both of those highs. Since then, its fluctuated in the teens, and now into the 20s.

After a 34-0 loss to Alabama in Week 9, Missouri has again dropped but remains in the Coaches Poll.

This story will be updated when the AP Poll is posted.
