COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri will soon find out its bowl game assignment, with details regarding the Tigers’ final game of the 2024 season set for a Sunday afternoon announcement. And while the “where” of that matchup is half of the intrigue, it’s the “who” Mizzou will play that might be the most important.
MU, which finished the regular season 9-3 overall and 5-3 against Southeastern Conference opponents, will almost certainly participate in one of the “Pool of Six” bowl games. The Tigers are out of the College Football Playoff race and unlikely to have the requisite stature for the SEC’s spot in the Citrus Bowl, which will go to the conference’s best non-playoff team.
