While Ole Miss may still be harboring “what if’s” from the devastating loss to the Memphis Tigers, the Rebels did rebound with a resounding defeat of the Aggies, holding Sumlin’s team to 3 points. And while likely out of the Football Playoff picture with two losses, Ole Miss still controls its own destiny for a shot to make its first ever SEC Championship game.

Gus Malzahn’s Auburn team, meanwhile, showed signs of life – particularly offensively – in Fayetteville despite a devastating quadruple overtime loss. Back in the friendly confines of Jordan-Hare stadium, can the Tigers bounce back, and find some Halloween MoJo to upset the Rebels?

Join Coach John Ray and Doug Dean as they break down the key elements that will decide this game, which will have the eyes of the Crimson Tide fans glued and undoubtedly feeling rather “conflicted” about who to pull for.
