What is Missouri’s record on the road vs ranked teams under Eli Drinkwitz?

Missouri's football team has faced criticism for its record against ranked teams under coach Eli Drinkwitz. In their last season, they went 8-5 with a 1-5 record against teams who finished the season ranked in the top-25, including a dismal 0-5 mark against top-25 teams that ended the season in the top-25. Conversely, Mississippi State's record under coach Jeff Lebby has been less impressive, with a 3-0 overall record and a 1-0 SEC record.

Both teams are set to face off in Starkville, where Missouri is ranked No. 21 in the coaches poll and No. 19 in the AP poll, while Mississippi State is ranked No. 24 in the AP Top 25. Missouri's road record against ranked teams under Drinkwitz is particularly concerning, with a 2-13 record in 15 attempts. The Tigers have won only two such games in the entire span, both against Kentucky in 2023 and South Carolina in 2022.
