No. 17/19-ranked Missouri football’s last chance to make a run at a College Football Playoff berth fell by the wayside Saturday in Columbia, where the Tigers lost 38-17 to undefeated and No. 3/3-ranked Texas A&M.

It was a busy weekend for the Missouri Tigers, with two men's basketball games and a football game on the schedule. The football team took a frustrating loss to a top-5 Texas A&M squad, while the men's basketball team won games against SEMO and VMI.

Here is where Missouri football landed in Sunday’s updated national polls, which followed the Tigers’ 21-point home loss to Texas A&M.

The No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies, led by quarterback Marcel Reed, face the No. 22 Missouri Tigers, led by quarterback Beau Pribula, on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025 (11/8/25) at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Mo.

The Aggies are tied with Alabama atop the SEC at 5-0 and could still take another step toward earning a spot in the SEC title game with a win Saturday. The task could be easier than it looked against Missouri with true freshman QB Matt Zollers making his first career start for the Tigers.

Missouri football, playing without its top two quarterbacks because of injury and needing a miracle to keep its grandest ambitions alive, sputtered and stumbled on its home field Saturday, losing 38-17 to Texas A&M on Faurot Field in Columbia.

With three more weekends left in the regular season, 59 teams have become bowl-eligible, and another 19 can qualify with one more victory. With 82 spots, it’s unlikely a team with a losing record will slide into the postseason this year. Of course, that could change.
