Projected seed: 5

Missouri's resume showcases significant victories, particularly the impressive wins against Kansas and Alabama, both top-tier opponents. Their ability to compete with the elite is highlighted by narrow losses to formidable teams like Tennessee and Texas A&M, demonstrating they can contend even in defeat. However, defensive inconsistencies—evidenced by high opponent scores—could pose challenges in the postseason. The upcoming games against South Carolina and Kentucky present opportunities to strengthen their standing; winning these matchups would bolster their tournament profile, while losses could leave them vulnerable to slipping in the field. Overall, Missouri's mix of key wins and tough competition puts them in a solid position for a mid-range seed, pending their performance in these final games.
