Top of the SEC Gains Clarity After Crucial Results, Eye of the Tiger, Week 11
The No. 24 Missouri Tigers never fail to entertain. At this point in the season, a wild finish from this Tigers team, regardless of the opponent, is expected.
Across the college football world, the College Football Playoff picture is getting more clear for most teams. Oregon, Indiana and Ohio State appear to reign supreme at the top of the Big 10, BYU remains the only undefeated team in the Big 12 and Boise State and Army look like the two contenders for the group of five squad to sneak into the playoff. The SEC and ACC, however, still look murky.
It might take a hail mary and some help from other teams, but it doesn’t look like Missouri is quite out of the playoff hunt yet. The Tigers must win out in order to do so and will need one of Alabama, Georgia, or Ole Miss to secure its third loss. Even with those hypothetical results, the Tigers could still miss out. The final three games on the Tigers’ schedule will be the test for whether they can do it or not.
South Carolina: 28-7 win over Vanderbilt
Mississippi State: 33-14 loss to No. 7 Tennessee
Arkansas: Bye week
Next week’s matchup on the road against the South Carolina Gamecocks for Missouri now looks like the most important game of the season. The Gamecocks have now won three in a row, featuring victories over Oklahoma and Texas A&M. LaNorris Sellers is proving himself to be a legitimate SEC quarterback and running back Rocket Sanders is looking like one of the most talented in the country.
On the flip side, the Mississippi State Bulldogs look like one of the worst Power 5 teams in the nation. Under the helm of true freshman quarterback Michael Van Buren and a lackluster supporting cast on offense and defense, the Bulldogs have yet to win a conference game. The outlook doesn’t look sunny in that category quite yet, with Van Buren and his offense in need of a dire turnaround to win its last two games. They close the season with Missouri and Ole Miss, which is no easy feat for a struggling team.
The Arkansas Razorbacks had the perfect week for a bye week after getting destroyed by Ole Miss. They face the top-five Texas Longhorns and Louisiana Tech before facing Missouri, with the out-of-conference Bulldogs appearing as the most winnable matchup down the stretch. The Razorback offense had shown flashes of brilliance so far this season and could be a lot for Missouri, and even Texas, to handle if all goes well.
No Missouri wins got any better or worse this week, outside of the Boston College Eagles. They improved to 5-4 after beating Syracuse without quarterback Thomas Castellanos. Running backs Kye Robichaux and Jordan McDonald combined for over 300 yards rushing to take down the Orange in an important victory on bowl implications.
The Alabama Crimson Tide, who boat-raced Missouri at Bryant-Denny Stadium, took down the LSU Tigers on the road. Losing to Alabama was never going to look bad for Missouri and a blowout win over LSU helped that case even more. The fashion of that loss, however, is what makes it ugly on the resume.
No. 21 Washington State: 49-28 win over Nevada
No. 22 Louisville: Bye week
No. 23 Clemson: 24-14 win over Virginia Tech
No. 25 Army: 14-3 win over North Texas
The Miami Hurricanes’ loss to Georgia Tech in the late stages of its game throws a wrench in the ACC, opening it up for SMU and Clemson to have a shot to win. Those two squads, alongside Miami, have as good a shot as any to win the conference and solidify a CFP birth.
Oregon and Ohio State continue to sit pretty atop the Big 10, but an interesting matchup between the Buckeyes and No. 8 Indiana is set up next week to shift the scales of the conference and College Football Playoff Rankings. Penn State isn’t out of the race either with an easy schedule in the back half of its schedule.
Boise State and Army look primed for competition for the group of five playoff spots. An Ashton Jeanty-led Broncos squad continues to take down Mountain West opponents, but the margins of victory have been significantly smaller in recent weeks. The same can’t be said for Army, who continue to win by at least two scores and remain undefeated.
The Washington State Cougars, ranked No. 21 in the country, have a fascinating situation on their hands. They technically are in the Pac-12 but because of the lack of teams in the conference, do not qualify as a conference champion. They also can not make it as a group of five team, so the Cougars’ only chance of making it in is to be in the top-12. That’s not impossible, but finding a resume-building win in the final three games looks unlikely.
Missouri’s College Football Playoff hopes are as much in its own hands as the rest of the college football universe. They will not make it if they don’t win out the rest of the season, but getting help from the rest of the top-12 schools would make a difference, whether it’s in the SEC or outside of it.

Job Point YouthBuild participants demonstrated their construction skills and shared their personal stories at the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City on April 21.
The event, hosted by the Missouri YouthBuild Coalition, brought together trainees, staff and partners from across the state, according to a community announcement. The day included hands-on construction demonstrations, youth-led advocacy and opportunities for participants to engage with policymakers.
A hands-on project
Trainees spent the morning constructing the framework of walls and portable chairs in teams, demonstrating the skills they are developing through YouthBuild programs in Columbia, St. Joseph and Cape Girardeau. At the end of the day, they assembled the walls to create a room, symbolizing the collaboration among trainees from different regions.
“It was a very good day. We had to build the chairs over there. I did a little measurement, cutting, all of that,” one Job Point YouthBuild student said in the announcement.
The experience highlighted not only technical skills, but also the importance of teamwork and communication, according to the announcement.
“Working together as a team, putting things together was exquisite. Communication was key,” another student shared in the announcement.
Sharing personal journeys
The event also provided a platform for participants to share their personal journeys. Many YouthBuild participants have faced significant barriers, including interruptions in education and limited access to employment opportunities. Through programs like Job Point’s YouthBuild, they are reconnecting with education, gaining workforce certifications and building pathways to meaningful careers, according to the announcement.
For students, the experience of participating in a statewide event and demonstrating their abilities in such a visible setting was both affirming and inspiring.
“I loved it! I had a great time. We built chairs. It was a good experience,” another participant said in the announcement.
Jerrell Morton, director of Job Point’s YouthBuild, emphasized the importance of visibility. Morton said in the announcement, “At its core, this day is about visibility — showing lawmakers, community leaders and the public what these young people are capable of. Our students aren’t just learning skills — they’re building confidence, leadership and a vision for their future.”
Addressing workforce needs
The event also highlighted the broader need for investment in workforce development initiatives like YouthBuild at the state level. Across Missouri, employers continue to report unfilled jobs and growing skills gaps. YouthBuild programs are helping to address that challenge by equipping young adults with practical training, work experience and the tools needed to succeed in high-demand industries such as construction, healthcare, IT and manufacturing.
For Job Point, participation in the event reinforced its commitment to empowering opportunity youth to overcome barriers, reclaim their education and achieve self-sufficiency and economic stability, according to the announcement.
“It’s a great experience. I love Job Point,” another student reflected in the announcement.
As the day concluded, trainees left with a new sense of confidence after meeting with their state representatives, senators and their staffers and standing up on the Missouri House and Senate floors, according to the announcement.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Supreme Court issued opinions Tuesday in two cases concerning the state’s latest redistricting map.
Both opinions found the map meets constitutional requirements. As it is already in effect, it will stay in effect.
“Today’s Missouri Supreme Court rulings are a huge victory for voters,” Gov. Mike Kehoe said in a statement. “Missourians are more alike than we are different, and our Missouri values — rooted in common sense, hard work, and personal responsibility — are stronger and far more aligned across both sides of the aisle than the extreme left-wing agendas pushed in states like New York, California, and Illinois. The Missouri First Map ensures those values are represented fairly and accurately at every level of government. This August, Missouri voters will head to the ballot box to vote for candidates in these newly drawn districts.”
The opinion in Elizabeth Healey, et al. v. State of Missouri, et al. stated residents failed to meet the burden required by Missouri law to demonstrate the map was unconstitutional.
This case raised an issue with Article III, Section 45 of the Missouri Constitution, which states that districts “shall be comprised of contiguous territory as compact and as nearly equal in population as may be.” But the court found the concerned residents were unable to prove the “legislature improperly deviated from the directives of article III, section 45.”
The second lawsuit, Jake Maggard, et al. v. State of Missouri, et al., took issue with which map was currently in effect. Residents gathered signatures they believed should stop the new map from going into effect until put before Missouri voters.
However, the court ruled unanimously that nothing in the constitution allows a referendum petition alone to automatically suspend legislation. It has yet to be determined if the referendum petition filing was “legal, sufficient and timely,” per the opinion.
Additional redistricting cases remain ongoing.
NAACP, et al. v. Kehoe will go before the Missouri Supreme Court on May 27. This case argues the governor didn’t have the power to call the “extraordinary session” in which the new redistricting map was adopted.
Additionally, People Not Politicians v. Hoskins will go before a judge in July. Though in a lower court, this case concerns the validity of the signatures people gathered to force a statewide vote on the map.
