Wait… EIGHT Home Games?
That’s not a typo.
Missouri Football’s 2025 schedule just dropped jaws across the SEC after it was revealed they’ll play a jaw-dropping eight games in front of their home crowd at Faurot Field.
No neutral sites. No weird international “Kickoff Classics.” Just eight golden opportunities to turn Columbia into a fortress—and rewrite the narrative of Missouri football.
> Spoiler alert: This is the kind of schedule that gets teams into the College Football Playoff.

Why This Isn’t Just “Convenient”—It’s Deadly
Here’s the breakdown:
✅ Winnable Non-Conference Matchups at Home
Central Arkansas
Buffalo
Boston College
Kansas ( Rivalry alert!)
✅ Key SEC Showdowns in Columbia
Arkansas
Mississippi State
South Carolina
Kentucky
That means the Tigers avoid death marches in Death Valley or trips to Tuscaloosa. Instead, they’re building momentum on home turf where fan noise, weather control, and familiarity reign.

What This Means Strategically
This is not just a fan bonus. It’s a coaching advantage.
More rest, less travel fatigue
Higher confidence for young/transfer-heavy roster
Ideal for building early-season win streaks
Greater national exposure via home ESPN/ABC prime slots
Easier to recruit when you’re winning in your own house
> “You give us 8 home games? We’ll give you a war in Columbia,” one assistant coach told local media off record.

Fans and Analysts Are Saying…
️ “I’ve followed this team for 25 years. This is the friendliest schedule we’ve EVER had. CFP or bust.”
“If Drinkwitz doesn’t win 10 this year, the heat’s real.”
“Missouri just went from ‘maybe ranked’ to ‘SEC sleeper.’ This schedule is a cheat code.”
ESPN insider Paul Finebaum even called it:
> “This could be the year Missouri finally wins the SEC East. Yes, I said it.”

So, Let’s Talk Possibilities…
✔️ Beat Kansas at home and dominate the narrative nationally
✔️ Sweep non-conference = 4–0 start
✔️ Steal two SEC games at home = 6–1
✔️ Take one on the road = 7–1 with real playoff whispers
✔️ Win one more = 8–2 and on the radar
✔️ Let the chaos in other conferences begin…
Missouri could be knocking on the door of the CFP 12-team format with even a two-loss season. And with eight chances to protect their house? That’s no longer a fantasy.

Final Prediction: Columbia Turns Into a Power Hub
With the Jabari Brady commitment, Beau Pribula running the offense, and now a schedule perfectly designed for a deep run, it’s no longer far-fetched to say:
> Missouri might be the most slept-on College Football Playoff contender in the country.

️️ Your Move, America.
Keep sleeping on Mizzou.
Or tune in early—because if they go
6–0 to start, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

This is more than a schedule—it’s Missouri’s golden ticket.
