SUMMARY: College football teams are preparing for upcoming bowl games, particularly the 120th Egg Bowl between Mississippi State and Ole Miss. After a challenging weekend, both teams have much to play for: Mississippi State seeks their second consecutive Egg Bowl victory and bowl eligibility with a sixth win, while a victory for Ole Miss could secure their tenth win this season. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints are on their bye week, despite an easy schedule and a strong roster, they sit with a disappointing 5-5 record, but still lead the NFC South, making a home playoff game a possibility. The Saints will face the Atlanta Falcons after their bye week.
