With a 28–21 win over Texas A&M on senior night, Mizzou closed out an 11–1 regular season in front of a sold-out Memorial Stadium and gave the Tigers an undisputed SEC East title. Picked to finish fifth in the SEC East division before the season started, it’s safe to say that the Tigers have arrived.

Mizzou, ranked fifth in the Bowl Championship Series standings as of Sunday morning, will play BCS No. 4 Auburn at 3 p.m. Saturday in Atlanta. The winner will lock up a BCS bowl berth — the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans — and also will have the chance to play for the national title based on the final BCS standings.
