College football conference power rankings (espn.com)
"Don't look now, but Missouri has crept into the top five and is looking like a real problem for the rest of the SEC.
What coach Eli Drinkwitz has done in less than a year in Columbia, Missouri, is remarkable. He has the Tigers, who many believed would be among the worst teams in the conference, looking like future contenders having won five of their past six games.
And, lest we forget, he's done all that despite a handful of players who opted out and he's doing it without TCU transfer Shawn Robinson at quarterback.
No, it's freshman quarterback Connor Bazelak who is leading a dynamic offense that can spread you out and put the ball in the air or turn around and give it to Larry Rountree III and let him rumble between the tackles.
Whether all that means Missouri upsets Georgia on Saturday is up to someone else to figure out. For now, it's safe to say that the Tigers have the Bulldogs' attention, and that's a lot more than anyone expected at the start of this season." -- Alex Scarborough
