What happened to the No. 25 Missouri Tigers in Tuscaloosa, Ala. against the Crimson Tide sent shock across not only Missouri fans, but college football as a whole.

The Tigers got embarrassed in a winnable top-25 matchup on the road, especially in search of a season-defining victory that would give them more of a shot at a College Football Playoff spot. Those hopes, more than likely, are now dashed.

Missouri now projects to play some form of Power 5 team in almost every one of the predictions, outside of Washington State in the hypothetical Las Vegas Bowl.

The Tigers need to continue to win out its season if they hope to heighten its bowl game chances. The more losses Missouri racks up, the worse the potential postseason game gets. Compared to the preseason expectations the Tigers held, not reaching a playoff bowl game might be disappointing. Salvaging where they finish the season will be the shifted focus of the Tigers' postseason hopes.
