Missouri is a good football team, maybe the 2nd best team in the SEC.
While Mizzou is indeed a good football team, they are - at best - the 3rd best team in the SEC. Alabama and UGA are clearly better, and a good argument could be made that Ole Miss and LSU are better.
Not taking anything away from Mizzou… without question a good team. I’m just pointing out that they are the 3rd to 5th best team in the SEC. And will be playing the #2 team in the Big10.
In terms of bowls, the SEC for the most part “plays up”….. typically the SEC in non-playoff regular bowls is playing a better team on paper. It’s just how the affiliations and pecking order stands. And even with that being the case the SEC still usually does well in bowl games. A&M and Kentucky were clearly not as good as their opponent, were “playing up”… and both were still competitive and nearly won the game.
A&M… #6 or #7 in SEC playing #2 in Big12
Kentucky… #8-#11 in SEC playing #6 in the ACC (and we all know Clemson is better than 6 in the ACC to begin with)
Mizzou… #3-#5 in the SEC playing #2 in the Big10

Kentucky was the better team than Clemson they choked that game away after dominated for 3 1/2 quarters

Umm a good argument could be made that LSU is better? We beat them at their home stadium this year. Bama, UGA & LSU > Mizz so 4th best team
