Ole Miss and South Carolina have played football against each other just 15 times. The Rebs hold a slight edge in this series (?), 8-7. The last time these teams played football against each other — which was 2009 — the Rebs failed hard in Columbia, 16-10, and Houston Nutt was on the Ole Miss sideline.
Ole Miss finished 9-4 that year with a win in the Cotton Bowl over Oklahoma State, but that record also contains a 4-4 SEC record, including that loss up there to South Carolina.
This brief history comes in the service of saying that nobody on this green earth knows what will transpire in Oxford this Saturday.
