Missouri Tigers
SEC program. 2026 NFL Draft prospect of note: Zion Young, a DE who outpowered Alabama's 360-pound Kadyn Proctor head-to-head.
Current Show Posture
As of 2026-10-04:
The 45–17 Florida win supplied the ranked-quality breakthrough Missouri had been missing. Austin Simmons and the receivers punished Florida through the air, Jamal Roberts supplied second-half explosives, and the defense stopped Jadan Baugh. The hosts moved Missouri into their poll but want another performance at that level before fully elevating the Tigers.
