The No. 24 Missouri Tigers found themselves back in the national rankings after a 39-20 victory over Mississippi State. The Tigers played arguably its best game of SEC play so far and were rewarded because of it.

Even though the Tigers added another victory, its hopes at the College Football Playoff still don't exist. It looks like zero three-loss teams will make it in, which includes Missouri. The Tigers got a little help with Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Alabama all losing, but now all of those squads will struggle to make it in.

Missouri's most recent win forced some changes in projections, some of which present as slightly more challenging games. Here's where the Tigers project, currently, to play in a bowl game:
