Projected Scoring Margin: Ole Miss by 7.3
Actual Scoring Margin: LSU by 3

The projected scoring margin was 10 points off of the actual margin. Part of that can be explained by Ole Miss somehow scoring only seven points in four scoring opportunities (which would have matter more if LSU hadn't scored only 10 points in their four opportunities). Part of that can be explained by the field position Ole Miss gained from LSU turnovers ... which didn't actually result in points. It took a lot for Ole Miss to lose this game, in other words, right down to the second half injuries. Still, LSU played the Rebs better than Bama or anybody else had -- the 49 percent rushing success rate was pretty remarkable against this defense -- and benefited from quite a ratings bump anyway.
