It’s Ole Miss - Alabama in Oxford, Mississippi this afternoon to decide if the Tide or Rebels will be relegated outside of the New Years Six when the postseason arrives.
The Rebels (8-1, 4-1 SEC) have more to play for despite currently losing a tiebreaker with the LSU Tigers for the Western Division title. Ole Miss doesn’t control its own destiny, but if it wins out, the pressure would lie on LSU to be perfect as well to hold serve. Hey, it’s something for now.
Alabama, meanwhile, sits with two regular season losses and in an unfamiliar situation under head coach Nick Saban.
