It’s Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! After narrowly taking down LSU in Week 6, Auburn battles Missouri in its quest for ultimate SEC Tiger supremacy.
Just kidding. However, this is the first time these teams are meeting since last year’s national championship semifinals, which is fun. Auburn is the heavy favorite heading into today’s meet, averaging nearly a point higher than Missouri on the season.
Particularly in the wake of last week’s vault scoring debacle at Florida, let’s address the elephant in the room: Missouri seems to suffer from tighter scoring than most SEC teams, especially at home. Granted, it’d likely need to have a season best performance and then some to upset Auburn, but–if both teams hit–don’t be surprised if this ends up being a much closer competition than the rankings would indicate. In any case, it’ll be interesting to see how Auburn fares against the notoriously stingy judges at the Hearnes Center. My money’s on Suni Lee still getting at least one 10.
