10. Ole Miss vs Mississippi State (The Egg Bowl)

Ole Miss leads series, 63-43-6

This rivalry tends to be overlooked because both of these teams have been relegated to the SEC basement for decades. In recent years, however, the rivalry has intensified due to the successes of both teams and the fanbases hate for one another. The Egg Bowl always seems to set the tone for each team’s seasons and how they and their fans will feel heading into postseason play or the offseason.

This year is no different; both teams’ dislike for one another will be on full display when the Bulldogs travel to Oxford to face the Rebels. Mississippi State, with seven losses, is out of bowl contention, but they will be looking to keep the 5-6 Rebels out of a bowl themselves.
