re: Playing Ole Miss early in the season vs. late in the season

Someone else raised this question a while back (not to call you a man of the Germanic persuasion), and I think it's a great question.

I think playing them with titles on the line will give the game a different feel. One of a couple of things is assured....

1. We either don't match up well with them,
2. They elevate their level when they play us
3. We lower our level when we play them (as we are emotionally not into the game).

I guess we're about to find out, but I think this LSU vs. Ole Miss game will yield a result closer to what we would "expect", when talent is compared, i.e., Tigers by a couple of TD's.
