It’s been a somber bye week around Columbia, Missouri. The Tigers are 6-2 and still ranked in the Top 25, yes, but dreams of a program-first College Football Playoff bid are largely off the table thanks to two blowout wins at the hands of SEC opponents.
That being said, the Tigers are still in an enviable position, historically speaking. Only a small handful of Mizzou teams have ever been in a position to post double-digit wins and even fewer have made it happen. While the rest of the schedule is tough, the Tigers have the opportunity to be one of that small handful.
