If you're planning your Saturday around Mizzou, No. 10 Texas rolls into Columbia with College Football Playoff implications on both sides. Both teams are 6-2. The Tigers are fresh off a 34-10 win over Arkansas, and they're the slimmest underdog they've been all season.

Texas brings a defense that gives up just 17.1 points per game. Coach Eli Drinkwitz said the Longhorns have "a tremendous amount of talent at all levels." The Star's score prediction is Missouri 27-25.

News Notes

Illinois

Illinois has canceled its 2027 and 2028 football games against Mizzou and will play a home-and-home series with Notre Dame instead. Mizzou athletic director Laird Veatch said, "We are exploring all available options to address this matter." The Tigers have not announced a replacement for either game. The series is down to four games, though even those seem to be in question. KOMU 8ABC17NEWS247Sports

I hate to do this but these 2 have to go.

“They are 2. Sisters both fixed. My daughter is allergic and it's becoming unmanageable. Both are really sweet. Pluto is really shy and will take time for her to warm. Would really love them to go together as Pluto will probably freak if she can't find her sister.”

— A neighbor, Trailswest/Rollingwood
