A relatively new rivalry, Missouri and South Carolina began playing annually in 2012 after the latter's entry into the Southeastern Conference's eastern division. The Tigers and Gamecocks play in their respective state's Columbia, and compete annually for the Mayor's Cup between the two cities. Notable games include the 2013 thriller in which the Gamecocks overcame a 17 point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the 5th ranked Missouri Tigers in overtime, and the 2014 game that saw an unranked Mizzou top the 13th ranked Gamecocks during College Gameday. The series is tied 5–5 through the 2019 season.

The NCAA as well as Jeopardy! and Trivial Pursuit recognize the University of Missouri as the birthplace of Homecoming, an event which became a national tradition in college football.
