Road teams don't win Egg Bowls.

I think State ends up 7-5 next year. They will pick off someone they shouldn't. Not enough talent returning to do what they did last year, but enough that they could knock off someone.

Ole Miss will have a good team - but unfavorable trips to Tuscaloosa and Auburn and Starkville might make their ceiling 9-3.

Does anyone really "win" an egg bowl? The qualifications necessary to play in one already put you behind the 8-ball.

There is a bit of truth to this, but there is no reason to write off a team merely because they are playing on the road. Everyone knows y'all are gonna bring it for the Egg Bowl, mayne; there is no reason to say it's because of home field advantage when y'all are a talented team who will be royally pissed off.

For the record, since the game was moved from Jackson in 1991, Ole Miss is 3-9 in Starkville and Mississippi State is 4-8 in Oxford.

Agreed.

If we start off 7-0, meaning we beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa, we can make a legitimate run for the SEC West, barring catastrophic injuries or some unforeseen circumstances.

The back half of our schedule is a gauntlet.

Oct. 17, at Memphis
Oct. 24, Texas A&M
Oct. 31, at Auburn
Nov. 7, Arkansas
Nov. 21, LSU
Nov. 28, at Mississippi State
