The Tigers didn’t receive any votes in the preseason AP Top 25, but here’s a look at the ranked teams they’ll face

The preseason AP Top 25 was released on Monday, and unsurprisingly – Alabama will start the season ranked as the No. 1 team in the country. The Crimson Tide are one of five SEC teams ranked in the preseason Top 25, which doesn’t include the Missouri Tigers. Despite receiving eight votes in the preseason coaches poll, Mizzou didn’t gather any receiving votes for the AP.

Here is the full preseason AP Top 25:

  1. Alabama
  2. Oklahoma
  3. Clemson
  4. Ohio State
  5. Georgia
  6. Texas A&M
  7. Iowa State
  8. Cincinnati
  9. Notre Dame
  10. North Carolina
  11. Oregon
  12. Wisconsin
  13. Florida
  14. Miami (Fla).
  15. USC
  16. LSU
  17. Indiana
  18. Iowa
  19. Penn State
  20. Washington
  21. Texas
  22. Coastal Carolina
  23. Louisiana
  24. Utah
  25. Arizona State

Others receiving votes: Oklahoma State (107), Ole Miss (106), TCU (40), Liberty (36), Auburn (32), NC State (14), Michigan (12), Northwestern (8), Nevada (7), Boise State (7), Ball State (6), Houston (5), Boston College (5), UCF (5), West Virginia (3), UCLA (2), UAB (2), Army (2)

According to this poll, Missouri will play three teams on their schedule ranked in the Top 25: October 16th vs No. 6 Texas A&M, November 6th at No. 5 Georgia, and November 20th vs No. 13 Florida. In what isn’t exactly an overly daunting start to their schedule, Missouri will probably need to start the season 4-0 with the notable wins over Kentucky and Boston College (who received five votes) to start being in the consideration.

Top 25 match ups for Week 1:

No. 19 Penn State at No. 12 Wisconsin (11:00 a.m. CT, FOX)

No. 17 Indiana at No. 19 Iowa (2:30 p.m. CT, BTN)
