Missouri Falls Out of AP and Coaches Top 25 After 34-20 Home Loss to Texas
The University of Missouri football team fell out of the top 25 in both national polls released on Nov. 8.
In the updated Associated Press and Coaches polls, Missouri dropped from No. 19 in both after a 34-20 home loss to Texas, landing as the first team outside the AP rankings among others receiving votes and the second team outside the Coaches poll. Missouri is 6-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC.
In the Nov. 7 game at Faurot Field in Columbia, Missouri had not trailed until late in the third quarter, but a controversial fumble ruling gave Texas a first down and the Longhorns scored 21 unanswered points to close out the win, all but ending Missouri's College Football Playoff hopes.
Texas rose to No. 8 in both polls with the win, and Georgia rose to No. 1 in both after a 42-7 rout of Ole Miss. Missouri next plays at No. 1 Georgia on Nov. 14.
