Last week’s record: 11-0 (100.0%)
Season record: 85-17 (83.3%)

The Predictions Dept. finally put up another unscathed record in Week 12, benefiting from a combination of weaker out-of-conference matchups but also managing to get a right read on the muddle that was the intraconference slate. This week, […]

Great work as always Jess. And thanks for this gem:

"Tennessee has two very nice wins on its resume this year, Auburn and Kentucky, but also ugly losses to Florida and Missouri and a yacker of a 14-3 game against Charleston, which on the Wheel of Enjoyment, comes up just short of hitting the spot marked 'Stomach Flu.'"

 THURSDAY
Egg Bowl

No. 21 Mississippi State at Ole Miss
Thursday, 7:30 ET, ESPN

Year it began: 1901
Overall record: Ole Miss leads 64-44-6
Past five years: Ole Miss leads 3-2

Mississippi State's biggest villain: Former Ole Miss coach Johnny Vaught guided the Rebels to a 19-2-4 record in the Egg Bowl during his tenure from 1947 to 1970 and again to a win as interim coach in 1973. His second loss to the Bulldogs was a 19-14 defeat during Archie Manning's senior season in 1970.

Ole Miss' biggest villain: The Rebels can't stand Steve Robertson, a Mississippi State recruiting reporter and author, who broke the story about Ole Miss recruiting violations and uncovered the phone call to an escort service that led to former Rebels coach Hugh Freeze's resignation in July 2017.

Story that best explains the rivalry: Rebels fans rushed the field after Ole Miss snapped a 13-game losing streak to Mississippi State in 1926. But Bulldogs fans stood their ground and were determined to protect the goal posts, so an ugly brawl ensued. The poor sportsmanship led the student bodies to create the Egg Bowl trophy.

Hater's guide to watching this year: The Rebels are ineligible for the postseason for the second straight season because of NCAA sanctions, but a second consecutive win over the No. 21 Bulldogs would spoil new MSU coach Joe Moorhead's Egg Bowl debut.
