As of now, Mizzou could potentially face three or four ranked opponents by the end of the season depending on if Tennessee or Florida can stay in the top 25 and if Mississippi State can hang tough in the SEC West.
The SEC remains in the top 10 lead with three teams, followed by a tie between the Small 12 and the Big 10.
CFB Playoffs:
Yes, this was totally an excuse to use this GIF where Mizzou is still in the running for the CFB Playoffs
As of right now it looks like the Big 10 would place two teams in the second College Football Playoffs with Ohio State and Michigan State, followed by Ole Miss and whichever one true champion arises from the Small 12 - either TCU or Baylor.
Mizzou's path to the playoffs involves a road trip win over Georgia and a November gauntlet of Mississippi State, BYU, Tennessee and Arkansas before winning the SEC Championship over Ole Miss.
Week four is over, who do you think deserves to be in the CFB Playoffs?
