SEC editors lay out their Week 11 predictions

As we prepare for Week 11 action, the College Wire editorial team weighs in with their predictions for each game.

After the LSU Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs took care of business in Week 10, they are on a collision course on Dec. 3. All they have to do is keep winning their games.

This week we only see one matchup of ranked opponents as the Alabama Crimson Tide head to Oxford to take on No. 11 Ole Miss. The game is the CBS game of the week. Lane Kiffin looks to take down his former mentor and keep their hopes alive for an SEC title appearance.

Georgia and Mississippi State are the lone cross-divisional matchup of the week. Texas A&M and Auburn clash with the loser taking sole possession of dead last in the SEC West.

There is no shortage of intriguing storylines with this set of games on the docket. As usual, our SEC editorial team made their picks in each of the seven games on the Week 11 schedule.

Does Alabama hold off Ole Miss or does Lane Kiffin take down his former boss?

Throwback Thursday: Recapping Alabama’s 42-21 win over Ole Miss in 2021

The plays that led to Alabama’s convincing 42-21 win over Ole Miss in 2021.

Ever since Lane Kiffin took over as head coach of Ole Miss, the annual matchup between the Tide and the Rebels has been must-see TV.

So far, Alabama head coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] has avoided losing to his former offensive coordinator, but Kiffin has given Saban all he has wanted and more.

In 2020 it was an explosive offensive affair between Alabama and Ole Miss with the Tide pulling away late to win in Oxford 63-48.

Last season in Bryant-Denny, Alabama played much better and really controlled the game from start to finish and defeated the Rebels 42-21. Here is how it went down in Tuscaloosa last season:

Alabama vs Ole Miss Game Preview

Why Alabama Will Win

How does Alabama want to move the ball?

The passing game didn’t click against LSU and wasn’t razor-sharp against Mississippi State, but Bryce Young is still Bryce Young – he keeps things moving even if he doesn’t have elite receivers to work with.

The Ole Miss defense is scuffling.

All of a sudden, Texas A&M freshman Conner Weigman became Joe Burrow throwing for 338 yards and four touchdowns with no picks in the 31-28 loss to the Rebels, and that was an off day against this secondary.

Passing games were able to connect on 70% of their passes in three of the last five games, the Rebel run defense is leaky, and it all means the Tide offense should click.

However …

Why Ole Miss Will Win

Just how down is Alabama?

There’s no national title to play for, it lost two of its last three games, and it’s been a big dud on the road so far.

It should’ve lost at Texas, struggled for three quarters against Arkansas, and lost to Tennessee and LSU. When it comes to momentum and things to play for, Ole Miss should have the energy.

It needs to win out and LSU has to lose to either Arkansas or Texas A&M, but it’s right there in the mix for the SEC championship and the College Football Playoff.

How did LSU beat Bama? It didn’t make a slew of mistakes, kept things moving with the passing attack, and it ran for well over five yards per carry. The Ole Miss ground game leads the SEC and is the third best in the nation with a great rotation cranking up yards in chunks.

Run well, beat Bama. Struggle on the ground, and there’s a problem.

What’s Going To Happen

The Rebels have been under five yards per carry only twice. Once was in the blowout loss to LSU, and other was in the close call fight to Kentucky.

On the flip side, the Alabama run defense has allowed over three yards per pop just three times. Arkansas averaged 3.7 yards per carry and made it a fight, Tennessee averaged over four yards, and LSU averaged over five.

Ole Miss will average over five to keep this close, but Young and the Alabama offense will come through with two late drives to keep the season from sliding into the abyss.

Alabama’s Darius Miles a game-time decision for matchup with Ole Miss

Getting Darius Miles back in the lineup would certainly help the Tide

After serving a suspension on Saturday against Kentucky, it is being reported that Alabama forward Darius Miles will be a game-time decision for Alabama’s Wednesday night contest against the Ole Miss Rebels.

Miles was suspended on Saturday for a violation of team rules, but head coach Nate Oats has since stated that Miles has been practicing with the team over the last couple of days leaving the opportunity open for Miles to return to the hardwood.

Miles has seen minutes in 20 of the Tide’s 23 total contests and is averaging 6.7 ppg and 3.5 rpg for the season. At 6’6″, Miles has the ability to stretch the defense with his three-point shooting ability.

Jon Rothstein reported the news of Miles’ status earlier on Wednesday via Twitter.

Alabama and Ole Miss will tip-off at 7:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network.
