As was the case last season, Missouri suffered an embarrassing loss to Texas A&M.

It wasn't as much of a meltdown for the Tigers as it was in 2024, but the loss in Week 11 to the Aggies pushed Missouri out of the race for the College Football Playoff and exposed Missouri's biggest flaws.

Despite the loss, Missouri was still ranked in the latest Coaches Poll from USA Today. The Tigers did drop seven spots in the poll though.

Meanwhile in the AP Poll, Missouri failed to make the Top 25, but received the second-most votes for teams that didn't make the cut.
