AP Poll: Missouri lands in the top 25 for the first time at 22

The AP Poll was released today and for the first time this season, Missouri finds themselves ranked inside the top 25.

Here’s the poll:

1. Alabama Crimson Tide
2. LSU Tigers
3. Clemson Tigers
4. Ohio State Buckeyes
5. Oklahoma Sooners
6. Wisconsin Badgers
7. Penn State Nittany Lions
8. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
9. Florida Gators
10. Georgia Bulldogs
11. Auburn Tigers
12. Oregon Ducks
13. Utah Utes
14. Boise State Broncos
15. Texas Longhorns
16. Michigan Wolverines
17. Arizona State Sun Devils
18. Baylor Bears
19. SMU Mustangs
20. Minnesota Golden Gophers
21. Cincinnati Bearcats
22. Missouri Tigers
23. Iowa Hawkeyes
24. Appalachian State Mountaineers
25. Washington Huskies

ARV: Tulane 55, Iowa State 36, Temple 31, Wake Forest 25, California 20, Virginia 8, Memphis 6, USC 4, South Carolina 4, Texas A&M 3, UCF 3, San Diego State 2, Louisiana Tech 1

Missouri received 233 votes, 23 more than Iowa, 75 less than Cincinnati. I’ll be curious to watch how this progresses. Missouri has two more games before their next bye, and they’re road games against Vanderbilt and Kentucky.

Meanwhile, SP+ was released

Mizzou stayed at 10 in the regular SP+ rankings, but are now projected to have more conference wins than anyone else in the East. This basically says: take care of your business.
