A lot of questions will get answered today and the answers will have major consequences.
For No. 7 Ole Miss, we’ll find out if the Rebels will be going to the College Football Playoff and, maybe, what coach Lane Kiffin’s decision about his future will be.
But probably not. That’ll come on Saturday. Maybe.
Kickoff is coming up soon. Here’s everything to know about the 122nd Battle for the Golden Egg.

Student-Athlete Availability Report
For Ole Miss, cornerback Antonio Kite and linebacker Raymond Collins were ruled out for today’s game.
Mississippi State should have Isaac Smith available for today’s Egg Bowl since he’s one of three captains for the Bulldogs, but he’s listed as questionable on Thursday’s availability report.

Predictions
Taylor’s Prediction
Ole Miss 42, Mississippi State 24. I’m not buying into the Ole Miss players being distracted by the ongoing coaching drama. Plus, the only way the Bulldogs’ can stop Ole Miss running the ball is will actual dogs on the field to chase ball carriers down.
