Race for the CFP Week 7: Mizzou on the cusp of entering playoff picture

The Missouri Tigers (5-1, 2-1 SEC) are climbing toward College Football Playoff contention after a commanding 27-6 victory over Texas A&M last weekend. With their second-toughest remaining schedule—just behind Ohio State—the Tigers now sit on the fringe of the playoff picture, according to ESPN’s projections.

A critical test awaits this weekend as Mizzou travels to Ole Miss, where a win would solidify their playoff hopes and shift their standing in On3’s latest bracketology, currently placing them as the second team out of the field.

Elsewhere, Georgia (6-0) cemented its SEC dominance with a 20-17 road win over Alabama, while Ohio State (4-0) remains the Big Ten’s top contender ahead of a road game at Indiana. BYU (5-0) and Miami (FL) (5-0) lead their respective conferences, with the Cougars hosting Notre Dame in a high-stakes matchup.

Meanwhile, Boise State (5-1) and UCLA (5-0) remain at-large hopefuls, though injuries and schedule challenges loom for both programs.
