The Hurricanes defeated USF 50-15 on the road Saturday and climbed to No. 9, while Utah claimed a ranked win on the road at Oklahoma State, sending the Utes to No. 10 in the poll.
There are still five SEC teams ahead of the Tigers.
Georgia remained at No. 1, and Texas stayed at No. 2. Alabama and Ole Miss come in at No. 4 and 5, respectively, and Tennessee is No. 6, jumping Oregon, after defeating Oklahoma in Norman.
Ohio State is No. 3, the Ducks are No. 7 and Penn State stayed at No. 8 for three Big Ten teams in the top 10.
Mizzou has a week off before it heads to College Station, Texas, to face Texas A&M, which is No. 24 in the latest poll after defeating Bowling Green and former Mizzou QB Connor Bazelak 26-20 on Saturday at home. The Aggies host Arkansas before facing Mizzou.

Missouri is out of the top 10 in both major polls.
The Tigers dropped to No. 11 in Sunday's AP Top 25 poll, too, marking a slide of four spots. Mizzou was jumped by Miami (No. 7), Oregon (8), Penn State (9) and Utah (10).
Texas stayed ahead of Georgia as the No. 1 team in the country, and Ohio State and Alabama were Nos. 3 and 4, respectively, as they are in the coaches poll.

In the SEC, LSU is ranked No. 14, Oklahoma is 21st and Texas A&M, Mizzou's next opponent, is No. 24.
Boston College, which Missouri beat in Week 3, is the third team out. Missouri's future opponents South Carolina and Arkansas each received votes but are unranked.
