MU's historic comeback at Memorial Stadium, likely played a big role in Associated Press voters' decision to rank them as one of the top teams in the nation. Coach Eli and his team completed the largest comeback since 2015, outscoring Kansas 36-10 in the final three quarters.
That victory marked Mizzou's 10th in the last three seasons while trailing at some point during the second half, as the Tigers have now won 21-straight non-conference games at home. It was also the program's 12th-consecutive win at home, period, which is the longest home winning streak in more than 80 years.
Up next - Mizzou will stay at home for week three to host the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns on Saturday, Sept. 13. Kickoff is slated for 3 p.m.
