The 25 best Mizzou football games of the past 25 years, ranked

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Twenty-five games to define the past 25 years of Missouri football, from field-storming results to late-game drama.

At this summer’s quarter-century mark, and with the 2025 season creeping closer, the Post-Dispatch is taking a look back at the last 25 years of MU sports. Today, that’s the 25 best Mizzou football games since 2000.

Two notes of preamble: Best is subjective, of course. As you’ll see below, it’s loosely defined for these rankings as the combination of the Tigers winning, key individual performances, iconic moments and the impact of victories on the program. Second, this is part of an occasional series of Mizzou-related “top 25” rankings rolling out over the next few days.
