re: Missouri taking the East

I would probably favor Kentucky over Mizzou at this point. The only way Mizzou has any chance of winning out is if they fix their offensive woes. Their defense and special teams were good enough to beat Georgia. It is kind of unfair to the defense how lopsided that GA game ended up being. The defense was doing a fairly good job of stopping Georgia most of the game, but when the offense literally can't get a first down and keeps turning the ball over, not much a defense can do. Could Mizzou go 4-0, yes. Could Mizzou go 0-4, also quite possible. I think more realistically they go 2-2.

I will say that if Mizzou would somehow win out I think they take the East because I think GA stumbles against Auburn. If Mizzou would win out it would probably be better if Georgia did the same because Mizzou would probably get a better bowl if they could avoid a SECCG shellacking.
