I believe that would be 4A but then the multiplier kicked in. I think they stay 3A but their towards the top.

Beautiful night for football in South MS. Take some ling pants if you want to stay until the end of the game.

I actually do agree that Lebby has had some tough, resilient teams. Even when we were bad I saw effort and intensity all 4 quarters. That’s something that can be the difference maker in close games when we’re competing amongst the best. I always look at Georgia when I think of teams that can handle adversity, they’re never out of a ballgame. We’re not far behind them in that aspect

What concerns me is just the history of playing there. HHS does not play well there at all.

will booneville be 4A by the time the 1.5 multiplier goes in?

Seems like even teams to me based on what I’ve seen. Hattiesburg is prob a little more consistent.

I've heard that Belmont may be on the fringe of 2A, Baldwyn 1A and Booneville 4A.

SSC was 170? Dang. That’s middle of the road 2A numbers

They didn’t? They played in Columbia last year. The SEC going to 9 games did create some scheduling quirks where that’s happened though. OM-LSU is a great example…. LSU had to go to Oxford two years in a row.

How is it that MSU is able to host Missouri two years in a row?

According to what I heard, yes they submitted numbers

So is Ole Miss ready for the adidas 3 stripe life? I think that would put all 3 schools in Mississippi with adidas.

If there was an overconfidence issue, I think it was more of a thing after they smoked Minnesota. And then down 16-0 last week it wouldn’t have been hard to make a case that they were overconfident or simply not as good as people thought. But to come back the way they did against SC tells me that this group can deal with adversity. My other thing that makes me lean State here…. And perhaps I’ll be proven wrong on this… But I don’t have a lot of trust in Missouri in big games. I personally believe that they’ve had inflated records under Drinkwitz by virtue of catching some scheduling breaks and not actually being as good as their record has indicated. They’ve lost 8 in a row against ranked teams and have definitely struggled on the road against quality opposition. Drinkwitz’s best win there is probably a bowl game against Ohio State a few years ago where Ohio State had a ton of opt outs. This would be one of the better wins they’ve had under Drinkwitz, especially in terms of road wins. Mizzou of recent years doesn’t win this game and I’m not sold yet that this group is any different than previous year Mizzou teams. They may not be as good, actually.

State is nowhere close enough to be good enough to be looking ahead. Missouri is the total focus and they are a top twenty team to boot. I don’t think you have any worries about that happening. The teams are pretty evenly matched but State’s speed and athleticism should give us an edge. Plus the crowd will help carry us as well. I was looking at the tickets remaining and it looks like maybe one thousand give or take. So I think crowd might be right at 60K which will make it a rowdy atmosphere .

Mizzou is certainly good enough to beat us. My concern is the hype we’ve generated probably has developed overconfidence by now. Guys like Saban and Kirby have a pessimistic temperament that killed complacency. I don’t just don’t see that in Lebby as of now. There’s always a good chance of hitting the “mount stupid” peak in the Dunning-Kruger chart when a recently bad team finally gets momentum going. But as you said, this game being a home helps us out substantially

Missouri seems to give State problems in every sport which is crazy because one has nothing to do with the others. I was impressed with the way State handled being down last week. I think they win a close one. State 28-24 Florida is better this year, but they didn’t end the Auburn game as well as they started. It will take 4 full quarters and some breaks to beat OM. I just don’t think they’re that consistent. OM 34 UF 21 Texas close Georgia big LSU close Bama big Auburn close Tulsa close

State has never won an SEC home game under Lebby. I can’t imagine they are overlooking any SEC team, much less a ranked one. Also I think the State crowd for this one should be really good and that ought to help with any of the “lookahead” concerns. That said, Mizzou is good enough to beat State straight up if State doesn’t play well. My biggest fear with Mizzou is that State won’t get enough pressure on Simmons and he will be able to sit back and pick State apart.
