Rivalry still alive: Kansas reporter was the only one to leave Mizzou out of the top 25 of the AP Poll

The Missouri Tigers are 6-0 and up to No. 12 in this week’s AP Poll. They’ll host No. 7 Tennessee on Wednesday night in their SEC opener.

The Tigers had a wide range of votes in this week’s poll. Jon Rothstein and Scott Wolf had the Tigers as high as No. 7 in their polls. Meanwhile, only one voter didn’t mention the Tigers in the top 25.

Per CollegePollTracker.com, Kansas City Star reporter Jesse Newell, who covers the Kansas Jayhawks, was the only voter not to list the Tigers in the top 25.

Mizzou has wins over Illinois and Oregon, both of whom are currently ranked. Can they keep the good times going on Wednesday night against Tennessee?

Win that game and we’ll see if Newell pays attention to the Tigers.
