The No. 23 Missouri Tigers picked up the convincing conference win they needed on the road against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, winning 39-20. Everything seemed to go right offensively, with Brady Cook clicking in the passing game and the Tiger running back room taking over.

Missouri improved to 8-3 and with the help of a few other SEC teams, jumped up in the conference standings. However, the most important takeaway from the Tigers' win is the confidence it should build. Missouri played a great game in three phases and played arguably its most complete game of the entire season. With one more regular season game to play, the Tigers picked up some momentum.

Here's where the Tigers rank in this week's national polls.
