Expert picks, predictions for Tennessee vs. Missouri on the Week 11 college football schedule

A pair of SEC East rivals meet up both coming off losses as Tennessee welcomes Missouri to Rocky Top in college football's Week 11 action on Saturday.

Tennessee came into last weekend as the No. 1 team in the first College Football Playoff rankings, but lost an ugly one to division rival Georgia that puts the Vols on the outside looking in as the SEC and playoff races unfold.

Missouri just signed head coach Eli Drinkwitz to a two-year contract extension, after which the team lost a close game at home to Kentucky, dropping to 4-5 overall and with a 2-4 mark in SEC games.

What do the experts think of the matchup? Let's see how the College Football Power Index computer prediction model projects the game.
