Bouncing back after a poor defeat on the road, the No. 19 Missouri Tigers picked up a 45-3 win over the UMass Minutemen. With other SEC teams dropping games in Week 7 and others looking vulnerable, the Tigers still aren't out of the playoff picture. They will, however, need to win the rest of their games for that security.
The Tigers had the easiest win of Week 7, with teams like Alabama, LSU and Tennessee avoiding losses. LSU defeated Ole Miss in overtime thanks to a connection between Garrett Nussmeier and Kyren Lacy. The No. 1 team in the country, the Texas Longhorns, looked like the best team in the country against the formerly ranked Oklahoma Sooners.
Majority of the projections placed the Tigers in the same spots they were last week, minus a few. They are still a far distance out of the College Football Playoff, but if they can start stacking wins, might see a rise up.
Here's where the Tigers stand in postseason projections looking ahead approaching the halfway point of the college football season.
