Mizzou football history in the SEC is still relatively new after joining the conference in 2012. Despite being one of the western-most teams in the SEC, they reside in the SEC East. This was controversial when they joined, as some believed Auburn should’ve been moved to the East. However, that would ruin either the Iron Bowl or the Third Saturday in October, Alabama’s two biggest rivalry games. However, it has worked out for the Tigers in the East. Since they don’t have to play LSU and Alabama every year, they have actually been able to win divisional titles, something Texas A&M hasn’t done since joining the SEC.
