12. Missouri Tigers

Previous Ranking: 12

As mentioned previously, Missouri picked up a 17-14 win over Vanderbilt last Saturday, a result that snapped a previous three-game losing streak for the Tigers. As noted before as well, the Tigers would carry a 17-0 lead into halftime, but would be shutout across the final two quarters, while also committing four turnovers for the game entirely.

The Tigers will now travel this Saturday to South Carolina where a matchup against a red-hot Gamecocks team awaits. Missouri will likely be underdogs against South Carolina, and will also be looking to pick up their first road win of the season after dropping their previous three road games.

11. Florida Gators

Previous Ranking: 11

Coming off a bye week, Florida will return to play Saturday afternoon with a neutral-site matchup against rival Georgia in Jacksonville. The Gators will likely be at-least a two touchdown underdog, and will most likely have to play their best game yet this season in order to beat the Bulldogs.
