Mizzou is hurting. Figuratively and literally.
It’s been a grueling first eight weeks of the season for our Tigers. They’ve battled themselves to six wins, putting them into position to finish what would be a relatively special year for this program.
But like past breakthrough years, 2023 looks like it will stand distinct from the season that followed. Despite entering the 2024 campaign with their eyes on a potential College Football Playoff berth, Mizzou’s shutout loss to Alabama likely puts them on the outside looking in no matter what happens moving forward. Having been outscored by a total of 75-10 in the two most difficult games on their schedule, the Tigers likely won’t have a marquee win to boost their resume above others on the committee’s list.
