Missouri vs Auburn for SEC Championship
With one second to go and the Iron Bowl tied, it looked like Auburn and Alabama were destined to head to overtime. “Bama decided to attempt a 57-yard field goal. The kick fell short and into the arms of Auburn’s Chris Davis. Davis took off and made it 109 yards untouched for the win. Auburn will play Missouri for the SEC Championship next Saturday at 3pm. Auburn is #3 in the latest BCS standings followed by Alabama at #4 and Missouri at #5. Florida State and Ohio State are currently on track to play in the BCS National Championship Game. Florida State plays #24 Duke this week and Ohio State takes on #10 Michigan State. Missouri needs to beat Auburn and have either Florida State or Ohio State lose in order to play for the National Championship.
