Mizzou football schedule, results, playoff chances after Oklahoma win

by November 10, 2024

For the Missouri Tigers, it’s not so much good news/bad news as it is good news/not the best news.

Yes, Mizzou saved its season with Saturday night’s dramatic 30-23 win over Oklahoma, giving it bragging rights for its former Big 12 rival. However, the Tigers are still a long way from reaching either the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta or the College Football Playoff.

Overall, the Tigers are 7-2, 3-2 in league play, which places them on the right side (i.e. over .500) of the SEC standings. However, there are still plenty of teams in the running that Missouri would have to overtake to finish first or second at the end of the regular season. Tennessee, Texas and Texas A&M all have an SEC loss, while Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss and LSU all also had two losses and were ranked higher.

Missouri’s two losses were both losses, albeit on the road. It has also only defeated one ranked team, Boston College, when the Eagles were ranked No. 24 in September. The Tigers still have a chance to reach the SEC Championship Game, but need some serious help and a crazy final three weeks. Georgia hosts Tennessee next week and the Lone Star teams close out the season against each other in College Station. So there will already be a lot of movement in the table. It’s just that Mizzou needs a lot of it.

As far as the College Football Playoff goes, the scenario is similar as the Tigers need to get into the No. 10-12 range and are hoping for some serious weirdness as the selection committee won’t be taking more than three or four teams out of the conference. Mizzou hasn’t had a standout win, as its three SEC wins have come against teams that have a combined five wins in league play, and none of the three teams it has played yet have been particularly impressive this season.
