Now back to our regularly scheduled topic.
As Mizzou Football prepares for their last home game of the season, the Tigers were announced on Tuesday night as no. 9 in the new CFP rankings, the highest ranking in program history. Jaden’s got the scoop, to go with some fun little facts.
Most significant move is Missouri from No. 14 to No. 9. If Tigers beat Florida and Arkansas, Mizzou is guaranteed a New Year's 6 bowl - either Fiesta, Peach or Cotton

As such, it’s also Senior Day on Saturday, and Mizzou is set to honor 27 seniors. Here’s a reminder from Brandon and some words from the man in charge.
A list of the 27 #Mizzou football seniors who will be honored pregame for Senior Day.

As a reminder, several of these names have eligibility remaining and could exercise it elsewhere. For others, it will be the last time they play at Faurot Field.@CoMoSports pic.twitter.com/o1GLkjQJvW
Saturday is senior night at Faurot Field!

I asked #Mizzou football coach El iDrinkwitz about the legacy those 27 guys are going to leave: "when others chose to leave they chose to walk shoulder-to-shoulder."

Can’t wait to see what D-Rob has planned. Love that guy and will miss his presence.

But, Brady. Come on, man. What’s going on with that whisking technique? You’re cooking up eggs and you’ve got that wide of movement? What sort of bowl are you using man, you’re going to slosh those eggs all over the place. That’s a ton of egg whites all over the kitchen counter that now require a sanitizing agent and you’re missing the cleanest part of the egg in the first place. Get a firmer grip on the handle of that whisk and create smaller movements with the wrist! Cool celebration, though! 20/20

3. Missouri (8-2), Beat Tennessee, 36-7 (Georgia & Alabama are 1a & 1b) It’s not custom around here to doubt the guys in Las Vegas, who can afford those big buildings for a reason. But when they set Missouri as a slight underdog — at home — to Tennessee, it felt off. Well, it was, and Missouri again showed that it is a very good team this year. The shame of it is the Tigers may have done this a year early because, in a 12-team CFP, they’d probably be the SEC’s third team this year. Of course with the momentum created, and the solid recruiting happening, this may not be a one-off. The vibes in Columbia are really good right now.
- Sounds good, coach.
