2025 Missouri State Bears football team

American college football season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2025 Missouri State Bears football team represented Missouri State University as a member of Conference USA (CUSA) during the 2025 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by Ryan Beard in his third and final season as head coach during the regular season and Nick Petrino as interim head coach or the team's bowl game, the Bears compiled an overall record of 7–6 with a mark of 5–3 in conference play, placing in a three-way tie for fourth in CUSA. The 2025 season was Missouri State's first in Conference USA and at the FBS level after transitioning from the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).^[1] Although initially declared ineligible for postseason play due to FCS-to-FBS transition rules, the Bears were invited to the Xbox Bowl because there were not enough six-win teams eligible for the 42 FBS bowl games.^[2] Missouri State lost the bowl game to Arkansas State. The team played home games at Robert W. Plaster Stadium located in Springfield, Missouri.
