The Egg Bowl between Mississippi State and Ole Miss took on special meaning last year, with the Bulldogs still on the periphery of the College Football Playoff and both fighting for "group of six" bowl berths after spending the majority of the season in the national consciousness for the majority of the season.
The Rebels knocked off the Bulldogs 31-17 in Oxford, moved on to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl versus TCU, while the Bulldogs headed to South Florida over New Year's to take on Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl.
They both took major steps forward in 2014, which begs the question—which one has more staying power?
