Even despite suffering their first loss of the season, Missouri remains in the No. 8 spot coming off their 49-39 home defeat to LSU. A game in which Missouri led 25-17 at halftime, the Tigers would post an impressive offensive showing by amassing 527 yards of total offense, 411 of which came through the air, but would be outscored in the second half a combined 32-14.

The Tigers now sit at 5-1 overall, as well as 1-1 in SEC play, and are set set to travel to Kentucky this Saturday.

Remaining at No. 7 this week is Texas A&M, as the Aggies saw their three-game winning streak snapped Saturday with a 26-20 loss at home to Alabama. Despite carrying a 17-10 lead into the half, the Aggies would struggle at times in the second half, as they would be outscored a combined 16-3.

Now sitting at 4-2 overall, as well as 2-1 in SEC play, Texas A&M will travel to Tennessee this Saturday.
