In what’s become one of the most impactful rivalries in the sport, the Tigers get Alabama football up next.

This team has a whole new look to it, with Brian Kelly now at the helm for the Tigers. While he’s got some very good pieces on this team – including former Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels – it’s still a unit that will need a bit of cajun seasoning before it’s ready to cook.

Alabama should win comfortably, though it’ll need a half to finally break away.

Prediction: Alabama 34, LSU 19 (9-0, 6-0)

Ole Miss went and got them a whole ‘nother team this offseason, offsetting the huge amount of losses they took this offseason.

The offense will be helmed by Jaxson Dart, the former USC quarterback. Other players in the fold now include Troy Smith Jr., a first-team All-MAC linebacker at Central Michigan, and receiver Jordan Watkins from Louisville.

Will that be enough to beat Alabama? Almost certainly not, but stranger things have happened in college football.

Prediction: Alabama 48, Ole Miss 20 (10-0, 7-0)
