Every week Red Cup Rebellion will simulate the upcoming Ole Miss football game on the EA Sports College Football 25 video game to see how well it compares to reality. Just like we had hoped, last weeks CFB 25 simulation of a loss to South Carolina was way off.

This weekend’s Magnolia Bowl showdown between No. 9 Ole Miss and No. 13 LSU promises to be one of the season’s most intense clashes. Both teams enter with just one loss, eyeing a major boost to their playoff ambitions in the 113th meeting between these storied SEC rivals.

No. 9 Ole Miss (5-1, 1-1 SEC) and No. 13 LSU (4-1, 1-0) are twin flames, whether they realize it or not. There's a lot of shared history between the two Magnolia Bowl foes, well beyond what will be their 113th meeting in Week 7.
