The No. 7 Missouri Tigers are coming off a 27-21 win over then-No. 24Boston College, their first ranked victory of the season.

Missouri is expected to be one of the top teams competing for one of the 12 playoff spots at the end of the season. With an undefeated start, it is currently in at slot No. 9 in the bracket, which would set up for a matchup between the Tigers at No. 6 Tennessee.

With tough tests down the road against Alabama and Oklahoma, however, some see Missouri missing out on the playoffs. With the SEC as competitive as always, as six teams from the conference are in the top 10, the playoff race will certainly come down to the wire and some tiebreakers.

Here's bowl projections for the Tigers before they begin SEC play in week 4, including possible matchups with the reigning national champions and a reunion with a Big 12 rival.
