Ole Miss’ playoff hopes have likely ended, but it’s rivalry week, and facing Mississippi State is — and always will be — the biggest game of the season in the Magnolia State.
A promising season has soured for the Rebels (8-3, 4-3 SEC) following a 24-17 loss at Florida. Now outside the 12-team playoff hunt, the Rebels can still claim a 10-win season for the third time in four years. Meanwhile, Mississippi State (2-9, 0-7) is limping to the end of a terrible debut season under first-year head coach Jeff Lebby. The Bulldogs are in danger of losing a 10th game for the first time since 2003 (Jackie Sherrill’s final season) and going winless in the SEC for the first time since 2002.
Saturday is also a reunion for the coaches. Lebby served as Lane Kiffn’s offensive coordinator at Ole Miss in 2020 and 2021, and helped lead the program to the Sugar Bowl three years ago. The two respect each other, though Kiffin hasn’t been afraid to poke fun at the Mississippi State head coach on social media.
Ole Miss has won three of the last four in the Egg Bowl, but only one win was by double digits.
