Back then, the final polls were conducted before the bowl games and Minnesota was named national champs (after Mizzou lost its final regular season game to the cheating' beakers). Mizzou went on to win the Orange Bowl against Navy and their Heisman Trophy winner Joe Bolino, while all the teams ahead of them in the polls either lost or tied their bowl games, if I'm not mistaken.
So, if the polls would have been conducted after the bowl games, Mizzou would have likely been declared national champs by ALL of the polls.
