The Missouri Tigers entered the first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2026 season at No. 18, the selection committee announced on Tuesday. The ranking follows Missouri's 34-10 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks on October 31 at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. Running back Jamal Roberts and wide receiver Naeshaun Montgomery were among the Tigers who celebrated touchdowns in the win.
The initial CFP top 25 sets the stage for the playoff race, with Missouri looking to build on its strong start as the season progresses.
