UF will miss SEC title game despite Missouri win

The Florida football team did its part to keep its slim SEC Championship hopes alive Saturday afternoon.

UF braved the cold, beat Missouri for the first time in three years and handed the Tigers their first home loss in over a year. But hours later, Georgia beat Auburn on the road to secure the division title for the third year in a row.

There will be no trip to Atlanta for the Gators to play for the conference title. But that shouldn’t be considered a disappointment for the program.

The Gators' early season success drastically raised expectations for the team.
