Missouri athletic director Laird Veatch announced the school has requested a formal review from the Southeastern Conference regarding officiating in their 34-20 loss to No. 8 Texas last weekend. The most contentious call involved a third-quarter fumble by Texas quarterback Arch Manning, which was upheld after review and led to a tying touchdown. The defeat not only dropped Missouri from the AP Top 25 but also likely ended their College Football Playoff aspirations. Veatch emphasized the need for increased transparency in officiating reviews, stating that current practices foster speculation and mistrust. He highlighted coach Eli Drinkwitz's conduct post-game and directed attention to upcoming games against Georgia, Kentucky, and Oklahoma.
