After a big sweep of #21 Georgia in Athens, the Crimson Tide is looking to finish the season strong against the Rebels. Alabama was eliminated from the SEC title when Arkansas beat LSU on Monday night. The Hogs have clinched at least a tie for the regular season championship. Florida can tie them with a likely home sweep of TAMU this weekend.
Standing in third place is Alabama. Behind the Tide are a host of teams looking to leapfrog, making this series with Ole Miss just as important as any other this season. Bama does not want to drop out of the top four and miss out on a first round bye of the SEC Tournament - not to mention how it would look in the NCAA Tournament seedings.
