Where Missouri football was picked in SEC preseason media poll

Missouri football was picked to finish 12th in the Southeastern Conference this season by the voting media at SEC Media Days. Two Mizzou players, left guard Cayden Green and wide receiver Kevin Coleman, were selected to the preseason All-SEC team.

Green was named to the conference’s preseason first team, while Coleman was selected to the third team. No members of the Mizzou defense are included on the league media’s preseason team.

Texas was picked to win the conference title, with Georgia ranked second.

Mizzou’s opponents were ranked as follows: Alabama (No. 3); South Carolina (No. 5); Texas A&M (No. 8); Oklahoma (No. 10); Auburn (No. 11); Vanderbilt (No. 13); Arkansas (No. 14); and Mississippi State (No. 16).

Missouri has won double-digit games in back-to-back seasons, going 11-2 with a Cotton Bowl win over Ohio State in 2023 and finishing 10-3 with a Music City Bowl win over Iowa last season.

The Tigers open their season Thursday, Aug. 28, against Central Arkansas. Mizzou’s first SEC game is Sept. 20 against South Carolina.
