Mississippi State opened as a one point favorite vs. Auburn.
This SEC West rivalry has not lacked for drama or excitement during the Dan Mullen era. Things started out simple enough in 2009 when the Tigers trounced the Bulldogs 49-24, but it all changed just a few months later.
Cam Newton looked like he was headed to Mississippi State before doing a 180 over Christmas break and committing to Auburn. He beat MSU 17-14 in 2010 and there was all kinds of drama in the ensuing months over whether cheating was involved.
In 2011, a back-and-forth game came down to the final second as Chris Relf was stopped inches short of the goal line to tie the game.
