the Mizzou Talk forum for the St Louis Post-Dispatch (no idea if it's accurate, but seems to make sense):
"Missouri is 7-and-5 and one of nine bowl eligible teams in the SEC. Where the Tigers go could depend heavily on the result of Saturday’s Iron Bowl.
If Auburn beats Alabama, it is likely the SEC will get three teams into the playoff bowls. If that happens, the six bowls that select following the Citrus Bowl will have only five teams from which to choose. The Liberty Bowl, which has the lowest payout among SEC-contracted bowls, is the likely one not to feature an SEC team.
So if Auburn wins, Mizzou is likely headed to the Texas Bowl with the Taxslayer, Belk and Music City bowls at least in the discussion. But if Alabama were to beat Auburn, the Tigers likely slide down to the Citrus Bowl which then leaves six SEC teams for the other six bowls and brings the Liberty Bowl back in the picture. The Tigers are a natural fit for that game if there are enough teams.
Final bowl destinations will be announced next Sunday, December 3rd, following conference championship games and the College Football Playoff selections."
