Respect in the rankings

Posted on Jan. 8, 2008 by Chris Blose

After Mizzou’s dominating performance over Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, fans were left wondering just how much of a bump up the team would get in national rankings.

Well, the season is over, the rankings are in and Mizzou got a nice bump. The team jumped from seventh to fourth in the final AP poll — the highest finish for the Tigers in AP polling history (beating 1960’s fifth-place finish). Mizzou also finished fifth in the USA Today coaches’ poll.
