Race for the CFP Week 6: Mizzou Keeps Playoff Hopes Alive with 45-17 Win Over Florida

Missouri’s 45-17 upset over Florida last weekend vaulted the Tigers into the national conversation, propelling them 11 spots to No. 14 in the AP Top 25.

The victory reignited playoff hopes for a program that still sits on the outside looking in, but a strong finish—starting with a favored showdown against Texas A&M this Saturday—could push them into contention. The SEC remains stacked, with Texas holding onto the No.

1 ranking as it prepares to face Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, while Georgia and Alabama square off in a Saturday night clash that will further shape the conference’s playoff aspirations. Outside the SEC, Indiana’s 47-15 win over Rutgers kept the Big Ten’s momentum alive, while Miami (FL) cemented its title contender status with a 41-13 rout of Clemson.

Notre Dame’s CJ Carr delivered a Heisman-caliber performance in a 37-26 win over North Carolina, and Ohio State’s dominant 31-14 road victory over Iowa reinforced its case as the nation’s best team. Meanwhile, BYU’s stout defense secured a 17-10 win over TCU, and Boise State’s 37-18 upset of Utah State kept its automatic bid hopes alive ahead of a road test at Fresno State.
