Oxford, MS (Sports Network) – Back in the national rankings for the first time in nearly five years, the 25th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels take to the field this Friday to challenge the Mississippi State Bulldogs in an SEC showdown at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

This is the 81st edition of the Battle for the Golden Egg, but more than that the Rebels are trying to give themselves a better prospect for the postseason.

Already bowl eligible, Ole Miss has won four in a row since bowing to South Carolina and Alabama in back-to-back games by a total of just 11 points. The most recent triumph for the group came on November 22nd in Baton Rouge, topping 18th-ranked LSU by a final of 31-13. As a result, Ole Miss has beaten two of the four ranked opponents on its schedule this season, also defeating mighty Florida (31-30), in Gainesville no less.
