Nobody predicted either of these teams to be fighting for the SEC Championship. Everyone was ready to hand over the title to Nick Saban and Alabama. That was until Auburn pulled off one of the greatest upsets in sports history last week. Missouri is also coming off a big win, it was not quite as exciting, against Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M. While both of these teams have accomplished more than anyone could ask for, they both still have a bigger goal. A bid to the BCS Championship Bowl.
Right now, the matchup would more than likely be Florida State against Ohio State. It would be the first time in seven seasons that an SEC team would not win the glass trophy. While everyone wants to say it is destiny propelling the Auburn Tigers, it is really their dual running attack. Against Alabama, Auburn had 290 yards on the ground between Tre Mason and quarterback Nick Marshall. The Missouri Tigers get the job done with their passing game. They have two receivers who have ten touchdowns on the season each.
After last week’s win I am convinced that Auburn is in a groove and will win the SEC Championship today. While it is unclear if they will make it to the BCS game, they definitely have a strong case. This game will be a close one between two very deserving teams who fought against everyone doubting them. Missouri vs. Auburn- who you takin?
