2024 Recap

While Missouri didn’t make the leap to the College Football Playoff in 2024, the Tigers still enjoyed a highly successful season. They finished 10-3 and ranked No. 22 in the final AP poll, marking their second consecutive double-digit win season and top-25 finish — something the program hadn’t achieved in a decade.

Missouri will have to replace several key contributors from that squad, with only two of its 10 most valuable players returning. A strong transfer portal haul should help offset those losses and keep Eli Drinkwitz’s program trending upward.
