After Missouri’s 42-31 win over kansas in Week 2, Nathan Hurst wrote that the win over the Jayhawks has set the floor on this season, but not the ceiling.
Mizzou has met expectations in the early going. 2-0 is 2-0, and the win over kU was a must for the potential of putting together a special season. Beau Pribula is off to a hot start, and the Tigers are ranked for the first time this season — coming in at N0. 25 in the AP poll.
Is Missouri considered a dark horse for the College Football Playoff?
In this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey, we asked your record prediction after the win over kansas? The majority has predicted the Tigers to go 9-3 but miss the CFP.
Sign me up for 9-3. For the Tigers to get over the hump and have the CFP discussion become a reality, they’ll have to find a way to win on the road which Eli Drinkwitz’s teams have struggled to do.
There’s still a long way to go. Mizzou currently has five ranked opponents on their schedule as they open up SEC play vs No. 11 South Carolina next Saturday.
But first, take care of business against the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns tomorrow (12:00 p.m. CST kick-off on SEC Network+).
