The hate-fueled frenzy we call the Iron Bowl begins at 2:30 this Saturday afternoon, which means that by the time Ole Miss kicks off the Egg Bowl three hours and 45 minutes later, we'll probably know whether they're competing for a trip to Atlanta.

Yet here we are in the final week of the regular season, and they still have a chance to pass Alabama in the division standings.
