Penn State in the Outback.
Ohio State beating Michigan today made it possible. I think the Big Ten gets shut out of the playoff, regardless of next week's result. Let's say OSU wins that game, they get the access bowl. Michigan probably goes ahead and gets an access bowl too. Citrus Bowl picks next. Maybe they take Penn State, but Northwestern won a division, I think maybe the league will want the Cats to go there. That leaves Penn State for the Outback Bowl.
This would be the best combo of name/decent team Missouri could face. Also might get the bonus of playing an interim coach if USC gets beat tonight and fires Clay Helton.
