Las Vegas Bowl
Projection: Missouri vs. Utah
Even if the Tigers win out and finish 10-2, two top-20 teams blew them out, and their best win would be Vanderbilt. Road setbacks against Texas A&M and Alabama are tough to overlook for Eli Drinkwitz’s squad. Utah, the preseason favorite to win the Big 12, hasn’t won a conference game yet this season and has to beat UCF along with one of three top 25 opponents it faces down the stretch to get to six wins.
