Missouri 1960 Team Finally Crowned | Missouri Tigers Football News

Missouri’s 1960 football team, long overlooked, is finally getting its due—officially crowned national champions after a 66-year wait, thanks to a unanimous Senate vote led by Senator Eric Schmitt. The undefeated squad, which finished 11-0, won the Big Eight and beat Navy in the Orange Bowl, despite being ranked fourth in polls behind three other claimed champs. With Kansas’ forfeit game factored in, Mizzou’s legacy now officially shines, especially as Athletic Director Laird Veatch and Senator Schmitt celebrate the team’s historic achievement. The Tigers will honor them on September 19th against Troy, marking a triumphant moment for fans and players alike—and a reminder that history sometimes takes decades to get its recognition right.
