The ebb and flow of the college football season hits a low this week if measured by the number of Top 25 matchups. The only one is No. 9 Missouri at No. 25 Texas A & M, the fewest since there were no ranked teams pitted against each other during Week 3 last season.

Just seven programs in the country have allowed fewer points per game than Missouri's average of 12, and it's a group anchored by linebackers who can do it all. Corey Flagg Jr., Chuck Hicks, Tristen Newson, and Khalil Jacobs have combined for four of the team's eight sacks on the season, adding 57 total tackles as well.
