No. 7 LSU and No. 8 Ole Miss are both 2-0 and meet in Oxford on Sept 19. Can LSU win it?

Ole Miss defeated LSU 32-24 on September 19, 2026, in Oxford, Mississippi, handing the seventh-ranked Tigers their first loss of the season in a matchup of unbeaten top-10 SEC West rivals. Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, a transfer Rebels coach Lane Kiffin recruited from a Division II program in 2025, directed scoring drives that built a lead LSU could not fully erase. LSU trailed for much of the game before mounting a fourth-quarter rally that narrowed the margin, but the comeback fell short as Ole Miss's offense controlled the final minutes. The win kept eighth-ranked Ole Miss unbeaten at 3-0 and dropped LSU to 2-1 in the annual Magnolia Bowl rivalry game. Predict Six's community had favored LSU heavily, with 75 percent of voters expecting a Tigers win; that expectation did not hold, as Chambliss and the Rebels' offense outlasted LSU's comeback bid. The result extended Ole Miss's strong start under Kiffin and renewed scrutiny of LSU's readiness for a full SEC schedule after an otherwise unbeaten start. National broadcasters had billed the game as one of the weekend's marquee matchups given both teams' rankings and 2-0 records entering kickoff.
