How did Missouri do in the 2021 preseason USA Today Coaches Poll? Did Nebraska, Kansas State, or Kansas receive any votes?

We’ve finally got some preseason college football rankings! Tuesday morning, the 2021 preseason USA Today Coaches Poll was released.

The top five teams in the poll shouldn’t shock anyone at all.

Alabama claimed the top overall spot and had the vast majority of the No. 1 votes. Behind the Crimson Tide sit the Clemson Tigers at No. 2, though they didn’t receive any No. 1 votes. Oklahoma grabbed third in the poll (and also had a couple of first place votes) while Ohio State entered in at fourth. Georgia rounded out the group at No. 5.

What is a bit interesting is the team that was ranked No. 6: Texas A&M Aggies.

With a 9-1 record last season, Jimbo Fisher’s team looked very respectable in 2020 and it seems that some believe the Aggies are going to continue to be one of the better teams in the SEC (and the country) moving forward.

Check out the full top 25 rankings below:

Here’s how the USA Today Coaches Poll ranked the top 25 teams going into the 2021 college football season:

  1. Alabama Crimson Tide
  2. Clemson Tigers
  3. Oklahoma Sooners
  4. Ohio State Buckeyes
  5. Georgia Bulldogs
  6. Texas A&M Aggies
  7. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
  8. Iowa State Cyclones
  9. North Carolina Tar Heels
  10. Cincinnati Bearcats
  11. Florida Gators
  12. Oregon Ducks
  13. LSU Tigers
  14. Southern California Trojans
  15. Wisconsin Badgers
  16. Miami Hurricanes
  17. Indiana Hoosiers

  21. Washington Huskies
  22. Oklahoma State Cowboys
  23. Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns
  24. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
  25. Ole Miss Rebels

The Nebraska Cornhuskers, Kansas State Wildcats, and Kansas Jayhawks were nowhere to be found on the list or in the group of teams that received votes. The Missouri Tigers, however, received enough votes to where they would have been ranked No. 41, if the poll were to include that many teams.
