Everyone waiting for the November slump by Texas A&M had to wait another week as the Aggies went into Columbia, Mo., and pounded Missouri 38-17 to stay undefeated.

Alabama stayed undefeated in conference play as well, winning a slugfest against LSU 20-9, while Georgia had no problem beating Mississippi State in Starkville.

Auburn's offense woke up, but the defense finally faltered in a 45-38 overtime loss at Vanderbilt. Ashton Daniels threw for 353 yards and two touchdowns, but the Tigers had no answer for Diego Pavia and the Commodores' offense.
