Coming off an 11-2 Cotton Bowl Championship season, expectations are reasonably high for this 2024 Mizzou Football team heading into Year 5 under head coach Eli Drinkwitz. The Tigers have a manageable schedule on paper while bringing in a talented roster filled with plenty of returners and significant transfer portal additions.
For the first time in a while, the media thinks somewhat highly of Missouri based off of their preseason projections.
In a new-look, 16-team SEC with no more divisions – the Tigers have been tabbed to finish sixth in the league, only behind Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss, and LSU.
