Missouri just blew open the SEC East. The only question is whether they sunk their own chances to win the division in the process.

The Tigers took a huge lead against Georgia in the first half, then gave most of it up early in the second half, only to break the game open and break the division narratives with a 13-point run that put things out of reach. Left in a thousand pieces all over the field were the Dawgs' national title hopes and any semblance of a consensus about who claims the SEC East title from here.

South Carolina was ripping apart Arkansas in Fayetteville at the same time, and Florida was kicking off against LSU just a few moments after Missouri iced its win. But the Tigers have already done something that South Carolina failed to do and Florida hasn't done yet: Beat Georgia. If nothing else, that gives them a bit of the edge in the race for Atlanta.

But, then there's the little matter of James Franklin being taken off the field in the second half, and returning to the sidelines in street clothes. There are only so many times you can use a Maty Mauk to Bud Sasser to L'Damian Washington double pass to get a critically needed touchdown, which is exactly what Missouri did after Franklin left with the Tigers only leading 28-26. Franklin wasn't all-world in this game, but he was good -- 18-of-27, 170 yards and a touchdown passing, and a rushing touchdown -- and Missouri would like him to be health. Perhaps he is.

I agree, the key is if Mauk can play mistake free like Franklin, I don't feel as confident as I would like too about this.
