Alabama:
Missouri - 35
Alabama - 10

1968 Gator Bowl. The '68 Alabama squad finished the regular season with an 8–2 record, with its 2 losses coming by a combined 3 points to Ole Miss and Tennessee. For the game, Missouri completed 0 passes, but rushed for 402 yards and out-gained the Crimson Tide in total offense 402 to 23. The 25-point loss was the worst for Alabama in its 22 bowl-game history, and the 35 points Missouri scored were the most Alabama had ever surrendered in a bowl game.

Arkansas:

Missouri - 38
Arkansas - 7

2008 Cotton Bowl. Senior RB Tony Temple of Mizzou set a single game rushing record for the Cotton Bowl Classic with 281 yards and 4 touchdowns. 281 rushing yards put him in 2nd place all time for total rushing yards in a bowl game. The 72nd Cotton Bowl Classic featured 2 Heisman Trophy candidates, Darren McFadden (Arkansas) and Chase Daniel (Missouri). McFadden finished 2nd in the voting, while Daniel was 4th.

Auburn:

Missouri - 34
Auburn - 17

1973 Sun Bowl. Auburn lost their final 2 games to #20 Georgia and #1 Alabama to finish 8th in the SEC for the 1st time since 1966, although they were invited to a bowl for the 6th straight season. This was Missouri's 1st Sun Bowl and Auburn's 1st since 1968. Auburn fumbled 5 times and lost 4 of them.

Florida:
Missouri - 45
Florida - 16

2017 conference play. Missouri took control of the game with a 14-play, 98-yard touchdown drive that spanned the 1st and 2nd quarters. The key play was a 36-yard Drew Lock pass to Emanuel Hall on first-and-25. Larry Rountree III capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run, giving the Tigers a 14-0 lead. The Tigers, known for Lock's prolific passing, leaned heavily on the running game early. Rountree carried 15 times for 83 yards and 3 touchdowns, and Ish Witter added 83 yards on 17 rushes. The Tigers finished with 227 rushing yards.

Georgia:

Missouri - 41
Georgia - 26

2013 conference play. Gary Pinkel said No. 25 Missouri won more than a 2nd straight SEC road game when it upset No. 7 Georgia. "I just think we earned a little more respect," Pinkel said. "The respect level just went up a couple notches." The Bulldogs had won 4 straight on the strength of a powerful offense, including 44-41 over LSU and 34-31 in OT over Tennessee the last 2 weeks. Missouri's 1st road win over a top 10 team since 1981 helped continue the Tigers' recovery from a 5-7 finish in 2012, their 1st in season in the SEC. The Tigers ended Georgia's streak of 15 straight home wins. Georgia needed help from 3 Missouri penalties, including 2 offside calls, for its 1 touchdown drive of the 1st half which ended with Murray's 7-yard scoring pass to Douglas late in the 1st quarter.

Kentucky:
Missouri - 48
Kentucky - 17

2013 conference play. Mauk threw 5 TD passes to tie Chase Daniel's school record, Green-Beckham set another mark by catching 4 of them and Missouri cruised past Kentucky 48-17. Missouri outgained Kentucky 426-369, but its defense recorded 11 tackles for loss, 7 sacks and recovered a fumble in handing the Wildcats their 13th straight SEC loss. The Tigers also extended their nation-leading streak of games with a takeaway to 40.

LSU:

Missouri - 20
LSU - 15

1978 Liberty Bowl. The 1978 LSU squad finished the regular season with a record of 8–3 and losses against Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi State. It started well enough for Missouri; they took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards for a TD. Earl Gant took it in from 13 yards out, and Mizzou was up 7-0. With the MU defense dominating, Mizzou got one more chance to score before halftime and took advantage. As was expected from him by this point, Wilder plowed through a series of LSU tacklers on the way to a 3-yard touchdown, and a 20-3 lead with 1:20 left in Q2.

Mississippi:
Missouri - 45
Mississippi - 14

1978 regular season OOC matchup. Mizzou QB Phil Bradley went 14-for-19 passing with 178 yards and 2 TDs while adding 34 rushing yards. In all, Mizzou rushed for 327 yards and passed for 207. They sacked Ole Miss QBs 10 times and held the Rebels to 186 total yards, and the only reason this game was even as close as it was, was because of 4 first-half Mizzou fumbles.

Mississippi State:
Missouri - 47
Mississippi State - 30

1984 regular season OOC matchup. After 2 gut-wrenching losses, Mizzou found themselves behind 23-14 with 3:00 left in the 2nd quarter against a Mississippi State team that would finish the season 4-7. It started with a trick play--3rd-string senior QB Kerry Holloway lined up at fullback, took a handoff from Marlon Adler, ran right, and threw left to a wide-open Adler for 31 yards. That sparked the offense. A fiery halftime speech got the defense rolling, and Mizzou coasted in the 2nd half. Adler staked his claim to the #1 QB position, finishing the game 15-for-21 for 258 yards and 2 TDs. Hill had 119 yards receiving, and Mizzou had its 1st win of the year.

South Carolina:
Missouri - 24
South Carolina - 10

2015 conference play. Lock completed 21 of 28 passes for 136 yards and 2 touchdowns, helping the Tigers (4-1, 1-1) win their 1st conference game of the season. The Tigers gained a season-high 163 rushing yards on 42 attempts. Ish Witter had 17 carries for 98 yards and his 1st touchdown of the season. Russell Hansbrough had 11 rushes for 43 yards. "Once the offense got going, we got our tempo going and everyone was a little more relaxed," Brown said. "When you get into a rhythm, it relaxes everybody on the offense and just kind of keeps them focused on their job."

Tennessee:
Missouri - 50
Tennessee - 17

2017 conference play. In his final home game, Missouri's Ish Witter gashed Tennessee's defense for 216 yards rushing as the Tigers cruised to a 50-17 victory. Larry Rountree also carried 18 times for 155 yards and a touchdown. The Tigers dominated the line of scrimmage, with both running backs often reaching the secondary before they were touched. The Tigers racked up 433 yards rushing and 226 yards passing. Lock completed 13 of 28 passes for 217 yards with 4 touchdowns. Emanuel Hall caught 5 passes for 102 yards and 2 touchdowns. He would have had a much bigger game if not for 3 drops, including 1 sure touchdown. The Tigers dominated the 2nd half, thanks in part to a defense that forced 4 turnovers, including 3 takeaways on 3 straight Tennessee snaps.

Texas A&M:
Missouri - 45
Texas A&M - 22

2003 conference play. Quarterback Brad Smith rushed for 136 yards and 3 touchdowns as Missouri coasted to a 45-22 Big 12 Conference victory over Texas A&M. The game never was close as Mizzou took a 22-6 lead into the locker room and scored 23 points in the second half. Smith's final TD made it 31-9 and Damien Nash added TD runs of 14 and 9 yards in the 4th quarter to seal the win. Coming off a 77-0 loss at Oklahoma that was the worst in school history, the Aggies (4-7, 2-5) are assured of their 1st losing season since 1982. They also will complete coach Dennis Franchione's 1st season by going winless on the road for the 1st time since 1982.

Vanderbilt:
Missouri - 45
Vanderbilt - 17

2017 conference play. Drew Lock threw 3 TD passes and Missouri won its 5th straight game to become bowl eligible with its 6th victory, a 45-17 rout of Vanderbilt. Tigers sophomore Rashaud Floyd scored 2x during a 1:45 span in the 2nd quarter on a 30-yard pass from Lock and a 74-yard punt return. Ish Witter, who posted a career high in rushing yards in last week's win over Tennessee, enjoyed another productive outing with 102 yards. Missouri led 7-0 after the 1st quarter before erupting for 4 straight touchdowns to take a commanding 35-0 halftime lead.

UGA in that 2013 game against Mizz had only Aaron Murray left on the 2 deep at any skill position on offense.

Cool. I’ll play.

Missouri:
Texas A&M - 73
Missouri - 0

1993. We beat your arse up and down the field for 4 quarters. It contributed to your first losing season since...wait for it...1992. The end.

Thanks and gig’em.

Shows the vagaries of one game in college football. Who would have thought that it would be Missouri, who to be fair has had some good teams, would have given Bama one of the worst losses in its history. Especially, when Bama had a winning record. And it was just a good, not great Mo team. It was worse than the score indicated - a total beatdown. Nebraska would trump it 3 years later. The worst performance ever on the big stage for the Tide. It was 38-6 for the NC, but it could have been 60-0.

The Big 8 extracted vengeance for Bama's 62 17-0 win vs OU, 65 39-28 win vs Neb, 66 34-6 beatdown vs Neb - all in the Orange Bowl. Mo 35-10 68, Col 47-33 69, Neb 38-6 71.

1968 was the first year the AP poll gave a schit about the post season. The coaches poll wouldn't catch up until 74. Coach Bryant and lots of others treated bowls like rewards until that point, where focus and prep weren't near as intense.

It was an arse kicking though, which preceded a 2 yr period when Coach Bryant and UA were virtually non competitive, which drove a move to integration and a need to really focus on bowl games.

We struggled with mizzou when they were a big 8 team. Missouri had upset us in 77 and if u remember mizzou was up big in 78 until the blocked punt and we rolled from there. The big 8 was tough. Ironically, we handled Nebraska fairly easily most of the time.

U did bring up a nasty one tho. 1971 national title game. My God, we lost 38-6 to the huskers but it felt like 73-0. We were never in that game. That's the best damn team I ever saw Bama play.

That 71 season may have been the big 8 pinnacle. Bama and auburn had steamrolled through the sec and met unbeaten. Bama beat down aubie and heisman winner pat Sullivan in the iron bowl. It was set up where to loser of the iron bowl and the loser of Nebraska-ou "game of the century" would meet in the sugar and the winners would meet for the title in the Orange. We were humiliated by Nebraska in Miami and auburn got the same in New Orleans. At that time, the big 8 was unquestionably better than the sec. Oklahoma would have dragged us up and down the field too.

Not exactly. Alabama only won the '65 national title, because the AP waited until after the bowl games, after the '64 debacle. Otherwise, Michigan State would have won it.

I would say Missouri’s most dominant performance against A&M was 2010.

It was so bad that Sherman changed quarterbacks mid season.

I'd put the 2014 Missouri game over Florida as more dominant though

Mississippi State - 31
Mizzou - 13

We gave you your first TD in weeks, so it was basically a loss though. Congrats.

I thought of that one but decided to just stick with the largest point differential for each game to make it easy
