Who are your Dark Horse picks to make the SEC Championship game?

We all know that Bama and UGa are the favorites to make it back to Atlanta this year, who do you think can upset the apple cart this season, that no one is really predicting.
Mine are Mizzou and Auburn.
I think Mizzou will get some relief from the NCAA and they have a really nice schedule to make some noise. They get UF at home who they pretty much own, and Georgia the week after the Cocktail Part, so they may catch them not quite at their best. Also get Arkansas and Ole Miss as their West teams.
Auburn is like A&M in that when you expect them to do well they don't and vice-versa. Although many people have pointed out that they are stout on both the offensive and defensive lines, no one seems to be picking them in the top 15. Big mistake.
I think both of these teams can make some big time noise this season and would not be shocked to see them reach ATL in December.

Not the main favored candidate. Someone somewhat unknown who exceeds expectations of all others in an event.

You want someone to say Florida. Problem is nobody believes in you.

Dark Horse was a Katy Perry song.
Katy Perry had a crush on Trevor Knight.
Trevor Knight played for A&M.
A&M = Dark Horse

Auburn has made the SEC Championship more than any team other than Alabama in the last 10 years.
Not sure Auburn is really a Dark Horse Pick

No not really. UF and LSU are mostly picked 2nd so not a dark horse in my mind. I always thought a dark horse was more of a long shot. I could be wrong though.

I'm guessing you meant more than any other team in the West not named Alabama, but you're tied for 3rd with Florida over the last 10 years and behind Georgia overall.
You do have the most SECCG Wins behind Alabama though.

Arkansas is the only acceptable answer.

A dark horse has to at least have a chance.

Except in the state of Florida during an election year. I never want to hear about those Chads again.

Katy Perry did another song called ET with Kanye West.
Kanye West's mom got her doctorate at Auburn.
AU = Dark Horse

The winner of the LSU - Auburn game will definitely challenge Bama for the western title. That game is the season for both Gus and Ed O.
ETA: I hit submit by accident.
In the east I can’t fathom anyone but Georgia winning it. Maybe Florida can squeeze out a win in Jacksonville but I have LSU pounding Florida. The east is too top heavy.
