A massive game in the SEC title race will take center stage in Baton Rouge when No. 9 Ole Miss visits No. 13 LSU for a renewal of the a long-running rivalry that, since 2008, has included battling for the Magnolia Bowl Trophy. This will be the 113th meeting all-time between the two former SEC West foes, with LSU holding a 65-42-4 advantage in the series.
The matchup also features two of the SEC’s most established coaches, as LSU coach Brian Kelly (190) and Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin (100) are the only active coaches in the conference with 100 career FBS wins. Kiffin has tallied 39 of those wins since arriving in Oxford, Mississippi and with a victory on Saturday he could become the fastest to 40 wins in Ole Miss program history.
In terms of the SEC title race, there is a bit for Ole Miss to steal a win in a hostile environment after losing at home two Kentucky on Sept. 28. The Rebels remaining schedule includes visits from Oklahoma and Georgia over the course of the next month, so taking a second conference loss this early in the SEC slate would create an uphill path to Atlanta. LSU, also, has some huge SEC matchups remaining on the schedule — most notably Texas A&M (Oct. 26) and Alabama (Nov. 9) — but have yet to take a conference loss and have won four straight since the season-opening defeat to USC.
