For the third consecutive season, the Missouri Tigers are bowl eligible under head coach Eli Drinkwitz. Mizzou clinched bowl eligibility with Friday’s 29-27 win over Arkansas to finish the regular season with a record at 6-6 (3-5 SEC).
With only 11 bowl eligible teams in the conference his season, it seemed like Missouri was well positioned to land in the SEC’s Pool of Six — but LSU’s loss to Texas A&M did absolutely no favors for Mizzou.
An LSU loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship game (obviously an expected outcome) would drop them out of a NY6 bowl berth.
