Victory in the Battle for the Golden Egg has pushed Mississippi State into the College Football Playoff rankings at #24. The Bulldogs played an imperfect game but still beat arch-rival Ole Miss on the Rebels' home field and at their own running game too. The Dog defense was excellent all evening with clutch plays including the knocked down two-point pass to preserve the 24-22 final margin. Will Rogers struggled in stretches but made three key drives for touchdowns and checked the air raid offense into the ground game in the decisive period. State will be bowling in Florida this year but where? If conference title games go as expected the Bulldogs are battling South Carolina for either the Tampa or Jacksonville bowls, and a chance to probably play biggest name of all Notre Dame for the first time ever.
