Another week means another set of pivotal matchups for the Missouri Tigers. Up to this point, Missouri has managed to walk the tightrope to stay alive in the bubble. The Tigers have faltered, as they did in a loss to Texas, but have yet to completely fall off.
The first of two ranked matchups on the slate this week for the Tigers will be a home game against No. 19 Vanderbilt. To take a look at how the Tigers match up with the Commodores, Missouri On SI reporters Joey Van Zummeren and Michael Stamps talked to Vanderbilt On SI's Graham Bakko in the latest episode of the "All Things Mizzou" podcast.
