COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri's final two regular-season football games will be national broadcasts on CBS. The SEC announced Monday that MU's game at Tennessee on Nov. 17 will get the 2:30 p.m. spot on CBS. The following week, MU hosts Arkansas on Nov. 23, the Friday after Thanksgiving, for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff on CBS.
The Mizzou-Tennessee game is one of the SEC's best matchups on Nov. 17 by default. That weekend is when eight of 14 SEC teams play nonconference games, three of them against FCS competition. The only other conference games that day match Arkansas at Mississippi State and Ole Miss at Vanderbilt.
