LEAD STORY: No. 13 Missouri Faces Its Toughest Road Test Yet at No. 9 Ole Miss
Missouri has the record and the ranking. Saturday in Oxford, the Tigers get a chance to add the kind of win they have not managed in almost three years. The No. 13 Tigers (5-1, 2-1 SEC) travel to face No. 9 Ole Miss after a 27-6 home win over Texas A&M. According to SB Nation, the result ended a long drought against the Aggies. It was Missouri's first win over Texas A&M since 2014.
SB Nation's Mizzou coverage puts this weekend in blunt terms. Missouri's last road win over a ranked opponent came on October 14, 2023, a 38-21 victory at No. 24 Kentucky. Since then, the Tigers are 0-7 in their last seven such games. Missouri's résumé is solid but still missing a marquee road win, and that is the hole this week's matchup could fill. A win in Oxford would turn a strong start into a real case for the College Football Playoff.
The market expects Ole Miss to protect its home field. Per FanDuel Sportsbook odds cited by SB Nation, the Rebels are 6.5-point favorites. The Texas A&M game showed Missouri can win decisively against a quality SEC opponent at home. Saturday will show whether that carries over to one of the conference's tougher road venues against a top-10 team. Ole Miss can tighten its own hold on a top-10 spot and push a ranked rival down the SEC pecking order.
