No. 7 Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1 SEC) will take the field in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday night for a Southeastern Conference clash against the South Carolina Gamecocks.

After a statement victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in Week 9, Lane Kiffin and Co. saw their College Football Playoff chances increase by a significant margin.

But the program must remain hot down the stretch with a matchup against LaNorris Sellers and the Gamecocks up next on the docket in Oxford.

"You see every week around the country, but especially in this conference, how hard the games are, how many are one possessions," Kiffin said this week.

"All our games have been one-possession final scores. And so, you know, this is a really challenging time to play in the SEC and coach in the SEC and especially adding another game next year to this and and battling through the schedule. 

"I think about what we just did going to Georgia and Oklahoma and playing those those type of players."

With kickoff inching closer at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the final predictions are rolling in with the Rebels entering as the favorites.
