They had a loss to Kansas which was later forfeited.
Both the AP and Coaches were still awarding before bowl games.
Edit: They were actually #1 before losing to Kansas late in the season.
Ultimately the on-field loss to Kansas cost Missouri the 1960 national championship. The final AP poll was released one week after the game (before the decision was made to force Kansas to forfeit) and the 8–1 Minnesota Gophers took Missouri's spot at number one in the poll, giving them the AP National Championship. Missouri went on to finish the 1960 season 11–0 (10-1) including a win over Navy in the Orange Bowl, while Minnesota finished 8-2 with a loss in the Rose Bowl.

Interesting. Sounds like Missouri deserved it.
