From an espn.com article:
It was only about a month ago that Mississippi State was ranked No. 1 and Ole Miss was ranked No. 3. There was talk that both teams could be undefeated when they played in the Nov. 29 Egg Bowl at Oxford. The Magnolia State was the epicenter of college football. Yes, well, that was four losses ago -- one loss for the Bulldogs, three for Ole Mess, which is in a bit of a late-season free fall (the Rebels are 1-3 after a 7-0 start). Mississippi State might not be No. 1 anymore, but it could still squeeze into the four-team playoff if it beats Ole Miss on the road (and Auburn beats Bama). It could possibly get there even if it doesn't reach the SEC championship game and win in Atlanta.
