While Missouri took a bye week in Week 10, the Tigers benefitted from other results across the nation. Missouri jumped up multiple spots in the latest Coaches Poll from USA Today despite the off week.

Missouri will enter the final stretch of its season in Week 11, with the Tigers set to host Texas A&M. At 6-2, he path for a spot in the College Football Playoff is still there for the Tigers, but it will be extremely challenging.
