Missouri Football Week 8 Bowl Projections: Tigers Clinch Bowl Eligibility

Your Missouri Tigers (6-1, 2-1 SEC) are ranked No. 20 in this week’s AP Top 25 poll and have officially clinched bowl eligibility after a 38-21 road win over then-No. 24 Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday night. Mizzou joins Georgia and Alabama as the only SEC teams that are currently bowl eligible. That’s it. That’s the list.

To quote what Eliah Drinkwitz said on the SEC Network postgame interview to Cole Cubelic, “Why stop now?”

You can’t underestimate the importance of that win, which was perhaps Drinkwitz’s biggest win of his Mizzou head coaching career up to this point.
