What channel is Vanderbilt football vs Missouri game on today? Here's how to watch, including time, TV schedule, and live streaming info.

Missouri and Vanderbilt are two programs vying for a playoff spot Saturday afternoon — while also looking to get ahead in the football reciting game.

In a battle of unexpected SEC contenders, No. 15 Missouri travels to Nashville to face No. 10 Vanderbilt in a game with SEC and major College Football Playoff implications. The Commodores, led by dynamic quarterback Diego Pavia, have already stunned the conference, earning their first AP Top 10 ranking since 1947 after an upset victory over LSU.

The Commodores took Missouri to two overtimes last season and they're favored as they return home to Nashville. They're coming off of a 31-24 win against LSU, which was their second triumph against a top-15 team -- LSU ranked 10th entering the Week 8 slate -- this season. Vanderbilt is also undefeated at home.

Saturday’s game could determine which surprise SEC contender has a legitimate chance at a playoff spot. A Vanderbilt win would further cement its historic season and validate its rise under head coach Clark Lea. For Missouri, victory would reassert its status as one of the league’s most complete teams.
