First SEC home game of the year, can Mizzou get that needed first Power 5 victory of the season?
Auburn came into SEC play sitting at 6-5 and having had a very similar nonconference season to our Missouri Tigers. Auburn took care of most of the teams on their schedule that they should have beaten, the directional colleges (Georgia Southern, Northwestern State and Coastal Carolina), and the instate "rival" UAB. Toss in a win over Mercer and a surprising neutral site win over New Mexico and you’ve got the Auburn’s non conference season. Looking at the returns Auburn did have its hiccups though with a loss to Middle Tennessee State and then back to back losses to Harvard and Hawaii over the holidays.
