Notes
The winner of this game the last seven seasons has gone on to play for the BCS National Championship posting a record of 6–1. In 2011, SEC Champion LSU played fellow conference and division team Alabama for the National Championship, marking first time two teams from the same conference and division played for the title. Alabama won 21–0.
Neither 2013 division champion was bowl-eligible the previous year. In 2012 Missouri had a record of 5–7 (2–6 SEC), and Auburn was 3–9 (0–8 SEC).
Teams
Missouri
After missing out on a bowl the previous season, the Tigers rebounded to win their first-ever SEC East title. They were hoping to lock up their first conference title and first major-bowl appearance since the 1969 season.
Auburn
Only a year after their worst season in 60 years--including a winless SEC record--Auburn completed one of the biggest turnarounds in NCAA history. An upset win over rival Alabama gave them the SEC West title and a chance at playing for the national championship.
