The win over Alabama kept Ole Miss undefeated in SEC play, holding a record of 4-0. Mississippi State, on the other hand, has dropped back-to-back league games against Kentucky and Auburn, so the Bulldogs will be looking to return to the win column in this in-state rivalry.
They are still a very strong team, however, as they currently sit at No. 15 in the AP Top 25, six spots higher then Ole Miss. Mississippi State also has a win over Memphis, who defeated the Rebels, and a convincing win over 14-3 Vanderbilt.
