But it seems Missouri fans are ready to put it on a pedestal anyway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">For this week\u2019s Reacts question, we asked y\u2019all if the 45-17 scrubbing of the Gators was Eli Drinkwitz\u2019s best win in his seven years as Mizzou\u2019s head coach. And maybe it\u2019s recency bias or maybe it\u2019s truth, but y\u2019all answered pretty definitively: \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Maybe I shouldn\u2019t be too surprised. After all, it was a powerful aura-generator. The vibes around Mizzou Football took a 180-degree turn from last week, when things seemed pretty glum following the Mississippi State loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I will say that I personally voted for Ohio State, simply because beating Florida isn\u2019t all that novel in the Drinkwitz era, whereas beating an Ohio State-level out of conference foe is something to really hang onto. I also think the 2023 Tennessee win has a strong case considering how good that Volunteer team was. Same with the 2022 road win over South Carolina, which didn\u2019t even make the final list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Can the Tigers keep things rolling against Texas A&amp;M this weekend? <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/ncaaf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Tigers are still a 3.5-point favorite over at FanDuel<\/a>, whereas SP+ has them a little more favored. One thing\u2019s for sure: If the Florida win serves as a launch pad for future success, it will certainly benefit from hindsight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The dust hasn\u2019t even settled on last week\u2019s Homecoming win over Florida.
