For Auburn fans and for Georgia supporters, the leaguewide fallout from the "Prayer at Jordan-Hare" was secondary, of course, to the raw, visceral emotion of the moment. But for both teams and both divisions, the ramifications went far beyond the immediate gutpunch:
....
Missouri: If Florida had held on to an early 14-6 lead at South Carolina, what happened at Auburn wouldn't have made any difference. But after the Gamecocks' win, it made all the difference. Georgia can no longer land in a three-way tie at 6-2, and the Tigers lose a two-way tie with South Carolina, now safe in the clubhouse at 6-2. Missouri now has to sweep both the Rebels (in Oxford) and Texas A&M to finish at 7-1 if they want to go to Atlanta.
Most gutting for Missouri is that the entire situation could have been avoided if they'd held on to their 17-point fourth quarter lead vs. the Gamecocks. The two most unlikely wins in the SEC this season? That one at Faurot Field for South Carolina, and Auburn's Saturday. Both were devastating for Missouri.
No sympathy for Georgia at all. You knock that **** down. Friggin moronic db's going for the pick. Knock that **** down.
What? He had the pick right in his chest. If he knocks it down and Auburn drives the field and kicks a game winning FG guaranteed you would be calling him moronic for knocking it down.

The UGA DB coach should be in hot water after that.
A simple knockdown and it's their ball in AU territory. Smh
