Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023 Missouri Tigers football team represented the University of Missouri in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Tigers were led by Eliah Drinkwitz in his fourth season as their head coach.

The Missouri football team played its home games at Faurot Field in Columbia, Missouri. This was also expected to be the final year for the East division as Texas and Oklahoma will join the SEC in 2024.

Going into the season, Missouri was predicted to finish second to last in the SEC East by media covering SEC Football Media Days. Missouri began the season 3–0 after defeating No. 15 Kansas State on a Southeastern Conference record 61-yard field goal as time expired by Harrison Mevis. After two additional wins over Memphis and Vanderbilt and rising to No. 21 in the AP Poll, Missouri lost at home vs. No. 23 LSU to fall to 5–1. Back-to-back wins at No. 24 Kentucky and at home over South Carolina allowed Missouri to debut in the CFP Rankings at No. 12, leading up to a Week 10 showdown against No. 2 Georgia in Athens. Missouri played Georgia close, but ultimately lost 30–21 to fall to 7–2. A convincing win over No. 13 Tennessee at home the following week catapulted the Tigers into the No. 9 position in the College Football Playoff rankings. Missouri finished the regular season with 10 wins for the first time since 2014 after victories over Florida and Arkansas, and ranked No. 9 in all three ranking systems. The 2023 Tigers were led offensively by the St. Louis area trio of quarterback Brady Cook, running back Cody Schrader, and wide receiver Luther Burden III.[1]

Missouri defeated No. 7 Ohio State 14–3 in the 2023 Cotton Bowl Classic, their first New Year's Six Bowl victory in program history. Brady Cook finished the season with 3,317 passing yards, Cody Schrader finished the season with 1,627 rushing yards (a single-season school record), and Luther Burden III finished the season with 1,212 receiving yards. This was only the second time in SEC history that a team had a 3,000 yard passer, a 1,500 yard rusher, and a 1,000 yard receiver (2015 Alabama being the other). [2] The Tigers finished the season ranked No. 8 in both the AP poll and Coaches poll, their first top 10 finish since the 2013 season and third top 10 finish since the 2007 season.
