The Missouri Tigers were ranked No. 24 in the nation in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, released Tuesday night.

Mizzou is currently 6-2, but their two losses were particularly tough, with a combined score of 75-10 against Alabama and Texas A&M, who are ranked No. 11 and No. 14, respectively.

The Tigers are one of eight ranked teams from the SEC, but all four of Mizzou’s remaining games are against unranked opponents.
