The Missouri Tigers knew they had no shot at a College Football Playoff berth after its Nov. 16 defeat to South Carolina. That being said, the Tigers earned a nice boost in the playoff rankings after two straight wins over Mississippi State and Arkansas.

Missouri certainly got some help from other opponents, with plenty of SEC teams losing in the final two weeks of the season. The Tigers finished seventh in the conference with a 9-3 record, going 5-3 in conference play.

In turn, the Tigers moved up two spots from its previous No. 21 ranking to No. 19 nationally. The Tigers are the lowest-ranked SEC team out of the seven squads that are ranked.

The Tigers now await its postseason fate and will learn of it on Sunday, Dec. 8 when bowl games and the Colleg Football Playoff bracket are announced.
