12. Missouri Tigers
2024 SEC Record: 5-3
Missouri was one of the more interesting teams in the SEC last season. They entered the 2024 season with as much hype as any other program after beating Ohio State in their bowl game at the end of the 2023 season, but the Tigers were never able to fully hit their stride.
Missouri still went 10-3 last season which is a remarkable record, but there always felt like there was something missing. Their record also could have been a lot worse because they just kept barely surviving against teams most thought they would beat easily.
After a solid two year run for Missouri though, the 2025 season likely will be the year they head back down the SEC standings where they typically are found. This team does have some potential still, but it isn't anywhere near the hype of their team last year.
