I was born in the South and have lived here my entire life. I have never met anyone who thought Missouri was Southern. Midwestern or possibly Western but not Southern. A&M, Texas and Oklahoma don’t qualify either. All poor choices for the SOUTHEAST conference.

Well, the future is now old man. If the conference thought the way you did, it would be the SEC being left behind by the Super PAC-16 and the B1G.

I have to disagree.
On November 28th, 1861 the Confederate Congress admitted Missouri as the 12th state of the Confederacy after Missouri's disputed secession from the Union.
On the tv show, Designing Women, which is set in Atlanta, the character, "Charlene", is from Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Ever hear her accent? It's puuuuuuuuuuure Southern.
Missouri's more Southern in character and culture than you think. Sure, St. Louis is more Midwestern along with Kansas City, but these two cities are but mere bookends on a big state that, inbetween, contains a lot of Southerness about it.
If you'll go visit the state (not St. Louis or K.C., although K.C. is Southern to a the point of being famous for its variety of BBQ), you'll find Southern culture there, especially the lower half of the state.
