The now unranked Missouri Tigers find themselves with three current losses and are now outside of the realm of possibility for the College Football Playoff. A heartbreaking loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks on the road destroyed those hopes, falling 34-30.

That being said, the picture of where the Tigers could play in the postseason is becoming clearer. Five major sites projected Missouri to play in one of three bowls: the Music City Bowl, the Gator Bowl, or the Las Vegas Bowl. It looks as if the Tigers will face either a Big 12, Big 10 or ACC opponent in its postseason matchup.

There's no doubt that Missouri would have loved a spot in the CFP but at this point, it's too far gone. Here's where, when and who the Tigers are projected to play in its bowl game.
