For the first time this season, Mizzou is not ranked in the coaches poll.
After giving up a 70 yard touchdown drive in the final 70 seconds of the game to fall 34-30 at South Carolina on Saturday in Columbia, South Carolina, Missouri football dropped out of Sunday's US LBM Coaches Poll to the third team out of the top 25.
The Tigers (7-3, 3-3 SEC) opened the week as the No. 21 team in the rankings, but for the first time this season have tumbled all the way out.
South Carolina, which was No. 23 in the poll heading into its matchup with Mizzou, climbed four spots to No. 19.

It was a tumultuous week for teams ranked at the bottom end of the top 25.
Formerly No. 18 Washington State lost on the road at New Mexico and fell out of the poll; once-No. 19 Kansas State lost at home against Arizona State and dropped six spots; then-No. 22 LSU was beaten on the road by Florida and is now receiving just one voting point; and No. 24 Louisville fell on the road at Stanford and is now unranked.
Oregon held on to the top spot in the rankings, and Ohio State completes the Big Ten top two. Texas remains the top-ranked SEC team at No. 3.
In the SEC, Georgia climbed two spots to No. 8 after defeating Tennessee, while the Vols dropped seven spots to No. 11. Alabama moved up two places to No. 7, and Ole Miss is the new No. 9, also up two spots. Texas A&M is the only other ranked SEC team in the coaches poll at No. 14.
Mizzou was the preseason No. 11 in the coaches poll and had climbed as high as No. 8 after defeating Boston College in Week 3.
Mizzou is the first team out of the latest AP Top 25, dropping two spots from No. 24 in the previous set of rankings.
In the SEC, Texas (No. 3); Alabama (7); Georgia (8); Ole Miss (9); Tennessee (10); Texas A&M (15); and the Gamecocks (19) all remain ranked.
There are four Big Ten teams in the top five, with Oregon and Ohio State remaining as Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, while Penn State is the new No. 4 team in the country and Indiana is No. 5.
