00:00As Ole Miss takes on Texas A&M,
00:02their three and a half point favorites this evening.
00:04This is just a huge game for Mississippi.
00:07If they can win this one, Mike,
00:08you know that this could push them up in the standings
00:10and the rankings as well.
00:12They've been fantastic this season,
00:13but I don't know if there's a ton of believers
00:15in them out there right now.
00:17This would change that.
00:19I look at this game as a game that decides
00:22if there's going to be some...
00:24Right now we have Auburn,
00:25which is unbelievably successful.
00:28Alabama, we talked about.
00:30Tennessee, Kentucky, and then Florida.
00:32Right now, if you said,
00:34okay, you can have those five or the field,
00:37you wouldn't get anybody taking the field
00:39in terms of who's going to win the SEC.
00:41If there's going to be another team
00:44that challenges that quintet
00:46and puts itself into the conversation, at least,
00:50for the SEC regular season title,
00:52it comes from the winner of tonight's game.
00:54Texas A&M missed Wade Taylor for three games,
00:58lost two of them.
00:59That's half their losses on the season.
01:01The last five times they've played high major opponents
01:04with Taylor in the lineup,
01:06won by an average of 10 points.
01:08So he makes an enormous difference.
01:09He's an outstanding player.
01:11Ole Miss's offense is not great,
01:13but their defense can be absolutely suffocating at times.
01:17And we've seen them do that,
01:18not just to teams that are in their weight class,
01:21but outstanding teams.
01:22We've seen them able to apply that,
01:24which they did in the Alabama game.
01:26I believe that was a week ago.
01:28So they can use that defense to hang with anybody.
01:32I think tonight's game,
01:33and it's not going to be easy to call that,
01:36but tonight's game, I think, will decide
01:38whether there is a sixth team
01:40that hangs in the SEC regular season race.
