No. 5 Ole Miss (6-0, 3-0 SEC) will take on the Georgia Bulldogs in a Top-10 SEC showdown with an opportunity to further cement the program's College Football Playoff chances.

With a top-five win over the LSU Tigers already on the program's resumé, Lane. Kiffin and Co. will once again look to make a statement at Sanford Stadium in a critical SEC matchup.

"We get a chance to play the premiere program in college football over the last five years. I think since COVID, they've had the winningest record in football and especially dominance in the regular season… It's a very challenging team to always play, especially [in Athens],” Kiffin said of Georgia Monday.

“So we're going to have to have a great week of preparation and prepare to go on the road in a very tough environment with elite players and a phenomenal coaching staff, led by Kirby (Smart) and what he's been able to do."

ESPN's Rece Davis Chimed in This Week:

“DJ, our producer, said, ‘Don’t pick the Dogs. The last time everybody picked the Dogs, the Dogs lost. I can’t take it anymore. He’s begging us to pick Ole Miss.’

"On Saturday, I’ll have a little chicken, I’ll have a little drink, I’ll look at all the girls, and I’ll give one or two a wink. I’ve been waiting since last Saturday to see another one beat. Friends, it’s time once again to let the big dog eat. I’ll take Georgia.”
