Week 11 of college football brings a slate of high-stakes matchups, and the SEC clash between Georgia and Ole Miss is one of the most compelling. The Bulldogs come off a shaky win over Florida, where they had to rely on their QB3 for part of the game. Meanwhile, Ole Miss is riding high after torching Arkansas 63-31. The big question: Which Georgia team will show up? Can Lane Kiffin’s Rebels finally take down a top-tier opponent?
Analysts covering both teams shared their predictions for this pivotal SEC matchup.
Ole Miss 27, Georgia 23
Ole Miss has the tools to put Georgia on edge, boasting a relentless pass rush that leads the FBS in both pressures and sacks. This could spell trouble for Carson Beck, who’s thrown 11 interceptions over the last five games. The Rebels have top-five offensive and defensive stats per play this season, and despite close losses, they’re often underestimated. However, Ole Miss could be missing some offensive firepower due to injuries, making this a tighter contest than expected. Prediction: Ole Miss wins a close one, keeping their playoff dreams alive. – Travis May
Georgia 28, Ole Miss 21
Ole Miss has shown inconsistencies but is led by one of the nation’s most productive quarterbacks, Jaxson Dart. For Georgia, Carson Beck has been frustratingly erratic in big games, yet the Bulldogs’ strong run game should be enough to secure the win. While the score might look close, expect Georgia to control the game. – Ryan Roberts
Georgia 30, Ole Miss 28
Georgia had a rough outing last week but managed to survive Florida’s challenge. Against Ole Miss, Kirby Smart’s team can’t afford such errors. The Bulldogs’ defensive priority will be shutting down Dart early and winning crucial 50-50 plays—a focus for Smart all season. On offense, Beck needs to improve after last week’s struggles, and this could be a game where he rebounds. Georgia has shown resilience and grit despite imperfections, and they’re likely to pull out another tight win, even if it goes down to the wire. – Kelsey Kramer
Ole Miss 31, Georgia 21
Here’s my call: Lane Kiffin and the Rebels notch a statement win over a Georgia team that seems to be slipping as the season progresses. Ole Miss now has the defensive depth to disrupt Beck’s rhythm, and his recent lapses in ball security could be Georgia’s undoing. Dart is expected to lead a strong offensive push, lifting Ole Miss to a victory and silencing doubts about their competitiveness at the national level. – Ian Valentino
As game day nears, both teams know the stakes are high: for Georgia, it’s a matter of holding onto their SEC lead, and for Ole Miss, it’s about proving they can take down an elite opponent and keep their playoff hopes alive.
