Auburn

In the SEC, there are three schools which claim to be tigers: Missouri, LSU, and Auburn. Fortunately for Mizzou, LSU is not on the schedule, unless the two see each other in the SEC playoffs. We’ll cross that bridge in due time.

Missouri arrives to this matchup against another team with a personality disorder. Is Auburn a tiger, or a war eagle? If Auburn is a tiger, then it will be a close game for Missouri, and one which could ruin the Tigers’ perfect record.

If Auburn is a War Eagle – whatever that is – then I predict a landslide win for Mizzou. The tiger is a much larger beast, whereas an eagle, albeit respected in the predator community, doesn’t compare in size or strength to the mighty tiger.

Missouri remains undefeated, at 4-0.
