Mizzou took a tumble in the coaches poll.
Missouri football dropped six spots in Sunday's updated US LBM Coaches Poll, now occupying the No. 20 ranking in the top-25 poll. The Tigers lost to Vanderbilt on Saturday, and starting quarterback Beau Pribula left the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury. Eli Drinkwitz said "it could be a while" after the game for Pribula's return.
The Tigers (6-2, 2-2 SEC) lost for the second time this season Saturday, dropping their road game 17-10 at Vanderbilt. Missouri fell behind Texas , Louisville , Cincinnati, Virginia , Texas Tech and Tennessee in the rankings.
Vanderbilt (7-1, 3-1) moved up one spot courtesy of the win to No. 11, per the coaches.
Missouri has finished back-to-back seasons with double-digit win totals and ranked among the top-25 in every major national poll and the College Football Playoff rankings.
The top five in the coaches poll remained unchanged after the weekend slate, with Ohio State still holding on to the top spot. After the Buckeyes , Indiana was No. 2, Texas A&M was No. 3, making the Aggies the top-ranked SEC outfit. Alabama checked in at No. 4 and Georgia rounded out the top five.
Mizzou's next game is against the No. 3-ranked Aggies, who are 8-0 on the season after beating LSU in a come-from-behind win Saturday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
There are now nine SEC teams currently in the coaches' top 25 in the updated rankings, including four teams in the top 10.
Elsewhere in the SEC, Ole Miss was No. 8, Vandy was No. 11, Tennessee was No. 14, Oklahoma was No. 18, Texas was No. 19 and Missouri was No. 20.
None of the teams Missouri has defeated this season were receiving votes on Oct. 19.
Mizzou now heads into an idle week. The Tigers will face Texas A&M on Saturday, Nov. 8 in Columbia.
Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz is one of the 67 participating head coaches in the poll.
