Welcome back to Rock M Nation’s annual opponent preview series of the upcoming season. Each week we will break down one opponent from the schedule in chronological order. Given that rosters are ever fluid - and this is done by a hobbyist rather than a pro - there could be some errors in history and current roster makeup. All mistakes are done on purpose and with ill intent because I don’t like you or your team.
This is the sixth year in which I preview Missouri’s opponents during the offseason and, in keeping with tradition, I will once again review the FCS-over-FBS victories of the past year, just as a friendly reminder to everyone that FBS teams are not immune to FCS usurpation:

2023’s four FCS victories over FBS teams was the lowest since 2019 boasted three such victories (2020 isn’t counted here as most FCS teams didn’t get to play FBS teams).
