Just like quarterback Brady Cook did over two defenders Saturday night, the Missouri Tigers have leaped up in the latest polls.

Missouri is coming off a 38-0 win over Buffalo in week 2, its second-straight shutout and, dating back to last year's win over Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, its third-straight game without allowing a touchdown.

The Tigers have their first tough challenge of the season coming up Saturday, hosting Boston College at 11:45 a.m. at Faurot Field.

This story will be updated when the AP Poll is released at 1 p.m. CT.
