Mississippi Rebels
The Mississippi Rebels, led by Lane Kiffin, are having an impressive season with an 8-2 record and their sights set on a college football playoff berth. Despite a potential letdown after a big win against Georgia, the Rebels have had time to regroup during their recent bye week. Quarterback Jaxson Dart has been a standout player, with a completion percentage of 71% and 3,400 passing yards this season. The team has excelled on defense, allowing the 5th fewest points in college football. With a power ranking of 4, Mississippi is ranked 5th in offense, 6th in defense, and holds a strong record of 7-2 this season.
Florida Gators Analysis
The Florida Gators have had a disappointing 2024 season, currently holding a 5-5 overall record and 3-4 in conference play. The team suffered early setbacks, including a loss to Miami in their season opener and consecutive losses. Despite a recent win over LSU, the loss of senior Graham Mertz to a season-ending injury has impacted quarterback performance, with freshman DJ Lagway struggling to match Mertz's level of play. Lagway has a completion rate below 60% and has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns. The Gators have shown strength in rushing the ball, but their defense ranks poorly in points allowed and passing yards. With a power ranking of 83, the Gators rank 64th in offense and 89th in defense, averaging 28.11 points scored and giving up 27.56 points per game. Florida will face Mississippi, who have a recent positive record against them, in their upcoming matchup.
