A pair of SEC West rivals meet up in Oxford as Alabama looks to get back on track against Ole Miss in college football’s Week 11 action on Saturday.
Alabama comes in at third place in the SEC West after losing multiple games ahead of the Iron Bowl for the first time since 2010, most recently a dramatic overtime loss on the road to LSU.
Ole Miss is coming off an idle week, but at No. 2 in the division with a 4-1 mark in SEC games and still have a chance to make it to Atlanta provided it wins out and gets some help owing to the Rebels’ own loss at LSU a few weeks ago.
What do the experts think of the matchup? Let’s see how the College Football Power Index computer prediction model projects the game.
