From an ESPN.com article on who has the most to prove this weekend out of the West:
It?s definitely Ole Miss, for many of the reasons David stated. This is the Rebels? moment: ?College GameDay? in the Grove, Alabama coming to Vaught-Hemingway, a chance to finally prove they are ready to take the next step. The past season, when these teams met and many thought the Rebels would give Alabama trouble, they were shut out. If they?re truly going to contend in the SEC West, this is a game in which the Rebels have to thrive. Plus, this isn?t just about them; it?s also about the balance of power this year in the state of Mississippi. Over in Starkville, a rising rival, Mississippi State, is also undefeated and ranked, has a road win at LSU under its belt and will try to knock off No. 6 Texas A&M. If the Bulldogs can, the Rebels -- who seemed to have the momentum at this time a year ago -- have to keep up.
