The Missouri Tigers needed a boring, smooth victory over UMass in Week 7. Coming off a 41-10 loss to Texas A&M in the week prior, Missouri was back in the win column in the final game of its non-confernece slate.

The loss to Texas A&M caused the Tigers to drop 12 spots in the AP Poll, the biggest one-week fall since the poll started in 1936. After the break from SEC play though, Missouri had the chance to boost its confidence.

With the past two weeks creating some big time upsets nothing for the 2024 college football season seems predictable. Its created some shuffling at the top of rankings.

Here's how the polls shaked up after Week 7 of the season and where Missouri stands.
