ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Missouri is headed to a New Year’s Six bowl game for the first time in the current playoff era, while Ohio State has never missed one. They meet in the Cotton Bowl on Dec. 29 in Arlington, Texas. The Tigers have won at least 10 games for the first time since going to the Citrus Bowl after their last 10-win regular season in 2014, when the four-team College Football Playoff began. Ohio State is 11-1. The Buckeyes were undefeated until their 30-24 loss to College Football Playoff top-ranked Michigan in the regular-season finale Nov. 25.
