A huge game between SEC teams with major SEC East implications. Missouri has to win this week and next to make the SEC Championship. If not, it's South Carolina versus a school from Alabama; Connor Shaw's heroics become the stuff of legend in Columbia, SC, while Missouri's collapse in that game becomes another unfortunate entry in Tiger lore.

The Tigers get QB James Franklin back for his first game since playing Georgia in mid-October, which fans are hoping will make their offense even better.

Ole Miss is coming off a 4 game winning streak, after beating a top 10 LSU team, where they put up 500 yards offense a game…however these opponents have also included Idaho, a 3-win Arkansas, and Troy.

The keys for Ole Miss might just be the offensive line and Bo Wallace's play. On the other end, it could be Missouri's defensive line (led by DE Michael Sam) getting pressure, as well as whether James Franklin has any rust coming back this week.




This week and next week are probably the Tigers' biggest games since that Georgia game.

17-3 at half.

Then ole miss comes out and scores a TD on a 45 yard run to make it 17-10; they then force Missouri to punt the next drive.

Missouri will win this one 24-10. That makes it the 3rd straight time they've beaten Ole Miss, I believe.

That makes a 10 win season for Missouri.

This is also Gary Pinkel's 100th win at Missouri, making him the 8th active winningest coach in college football.

They're a Columbia-win against Texas A&M away from making the SEC Championship.

I bet they're really wishing Georgia hadn't tipped that hail-mary back up to Auburn.
