The No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels will be looking to get back into the win column this weekend against No. 13 Oklahoma, while the Sooners will be looking to rack up their second straight win after their letdown against Texas a couple of weeks back.
Both squads are sitting on one loss each heading into the final stretch of the regular season, and with the way the SEC is currently shaping up, there is essentially no room for error if either squad wants a shot at making it to Atlanta come December.
ESPN analyst Bill Connelly just released his SP+ projection for this pivotal clash between the Rebels and the Sooners, and his model is predicting a close matchup out in Norman on Saturday afternoon.
