Missouri football to recognize 1960 national champions during September game

Missouri football will honor its 1960 team as national champions during a ceremony at halftime of the game against Troy on September 19, 2026. This recognition comes 66 years after the team's undefeated season, which included a victory in the Orange Bowl. Although Missouri went 11-0, they were not initially recognized as champions due to the Associated Press and coaches polls selecting Minnesota instead, despite Kansas's forfeited victory over Mizzou. A resolution passed by the U.S. Senate in August 2026 acknowledged the team's accomplishments, paving the way for this official recognition by the university.
