you know this from experience or what?

This is the first year with 12 team playoffs. You’re going to have some ugly teams get in if you open it that much.

But they lose to 6 win Michigan teams at home as a 3 TD favorite.

They lose to Northern Illinois at home

They lose to Vanderbilt

You make a point about Northern Illinois. The other teams you mention are not dogshit like Kentucky. Kentucky is an abomination this year.

That was the most tame Egg Bowl I've ever been to. The MSU fans were completely checked out. They didn't do their Hail State cheer or anything. They were the quietest visiting fanbase that I've seen in years.

The Egg Bowl is known nationally as a crazy game for all the hate and bad blood but the game was pretty clean for the most part. And now watching all the other rivalry games today and pretty much all of them have had brawls.

That's what happens when both sides are pretty low coming into the game (albeit for very different reasons) & the winning side feels kind of meh about the win. State fans checked out once hunting season started & Ole Miss fans were just pissed watching that game even though we won.

It makes 0 sense

Ole Miss running back Ulysses Bentley IV has not received a ton of opportunities in the backfield this season, but in Friday's Egg Bowl, he stole the show.
Bentley, presumed at worst to be a top-two option in the Rebels' rushing game coming out of fall camp, was not used on offense in a tremendous capacity throughout Ole Miss' first 11 games, including not receiving a single touch in the team's loss to Florida last week. Against Mississippi State, however, he carried the ball 20 times for 136 yards, including an 89-yard rushing score in the first half.

"On that play call, I knew the guard was pulling," Bentley said, "and once I saw that hole and hit it on the inside, I'm fast, and ain't nobody catching me. Once I hit it, I knew I was gone at that point."
Bentley's celebration after the touchdown including the removal of his helmet and a strong show of emotion, something that he said was a sign of thanks given to the Ole Miss community.
"Oxford, man, they've showed me so much love and support," Bentley said, "and when I scored that touchdown, I just felt the need to talk to the crowd a little bit because of all the love they showed."

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has said in previous media availabilities that Bentley has been a model teammate this season, even while not being involved heavily in the offensive schemes. On Friday after the game, Bentley stated that he never questioned the coaching staff on why he wasn't getting more playing time, but he just kept pushing and working for success.

"I just kept a positive attitude throughout this year," Bentley said. "I'm a leader on the team, and we've got a lot of young guys, got a lot of older guys, and a lot of guys go through a lot of things. If you just keep that positive attitude, and when your name is called, be prepared and be ready to go."
Bentley's 89-yard score was a momentum shift in the game, giving Ole Miss a lead in the second quarter that it did not relinquish for the remainder of the game. That moment helped the Rebels claim their second straight Egg Bowl win and fourth in the last five years.

Ole Miss now awaits its postseason fate as it entered the week at No. 14 in the College Football Playoff Rankings. A series of upsets during Saturday's rivalry action, however, have kept a slim hope alive that the Rebels can sneak into the field.
The next installment of the College Football Playoff Top 25 will be released on Tuesday night.

Sort of off topic here but it bothers me that we still allow the ncaa to “vacate” our wins against teams. I was looking at the game notes for the Egg Bowl and our notes officially list us at 65-47-6 prior to the game. State has the series listed at 68-46-6 in favor of us (theirs has been updated after yesterday’s game).
Our game notes also say that the “original record is 65-49-6 in favor of Ole Miss ... The Rebels had wins in 2012 & 2014 vacated due to NCAA
ruling, while Mississippi State forfeited wins in 1976 & 1977.


Assuming you give us our 12 & 14 wins back (as we rightly should), and add in this years result, we have 68 wins which equals the total amount that state credits us with.
But if you give State the two forfeited wins in the 70s they only equal 48 wins for state (according to their stats). So what happened to the other win? Which state win are we counting that they aren’t?

It's amazing how fast the OM win over Georgia by 18 and the Bama loss to OU by 21 was forgotten by the coaches.

The Bama bump still exists.
