ESPN FPI Reveals Prediction for Ole Miss Football vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs

In this story:
No. 6 Ole Miss (10-1, 6-1 SEC) will look to further cement the program's College Football Playoff chances on Friday at Davis Wade Stadium in a matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Lane Kiffin and Co. will look to round out the 2025 season with an 11-1 record and punch a ticket to the College Football Playoff, but the Bulldogs will have an opportunity to play spoiler in Week 14.
In a matchup that will have no shortage of drama with Kiffin's future in limbo, all eyes will be on the annual Egg Bowl between the pair of in-state rivals.
“They’ve played really consistent and they find a way to overcome adversity within the games, which is really cool because this was supposed to be a rebuilding year,” Kiffin said of his Rebels.
“This was supposed to be two returning starters and, you know, middle of the SEC year. So, pretty neat, and especially led by a quarterback that got here in the Summer and didn’t even start the beginning of the season.”

Now, with "game week" officially arriving, Kiffin and Co. will look to tune out the buzz with an opportunity to move to 11-1 and punch a ticket to the College Football Playoff.
