Which college football games could affect Mizzou’s CFP chances this weekend?

As the college football season progresses, Mizzou (6-2) faces an uphill battle to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff (CFP). The Tigers need to win at least three of their final four games and rely on losses from higher-ranked teams to improve their standing. The scenarios where teams in other conferences defeat each other could favor SEC teams with at-large playoff hopes. However, a strong finish by multiple ACC teams could hinder a 9-3 SEC team like Mizzou.

Mizzou's situation mirrors the 2007 season, where unexpected losses by top teams allowed LSU and Ohio State to reach the BCS national title game. The Tigers are on a bye this week, allowing focus on other games that might impact their season:
