Ole Miss is currently ranked #24 in the AP poll and not ranked in the coaches. I think they should be ranked in both but I guess other HC don't care for Freeze, I dunno. I just can't figure out why they aren't ranked. ANYWAYS, most MSU fans will be rooting for Mizzou this Saturday. Most will cheer if they beat the Rebs in Oxford. The problem is that the Rebs wouldn't be ranked for the EB and even if the dogs win, folks could still use the "Mullen hasn't beaten a ranked team..."

So would you rather:

(1) Root for Ole Miss to beat Mizzou so they come to Starkville ranked even though that win would help their bowl placement. Mullen could finally get that monkey off his back. This option would bring more positive national attention should MSU win.

(2) Root for Ole Miss to lose to Mizzou and MSU. Screw the "Mullen beating ranked opponent stat". This option has less positive national media exposure if MSU wins.


A classic "your cake and eat it too" situation
