Ole Miss won the Egg Bowl and will take the jiMpossible-sarcasMike Trophy into the Sugar Bowl against Baylor on New Years Day.
- Ole Miss is 45-14-5 vying for the Trophy
- This marks their 5th time as Trophy holder
- Their longest streak was 19 games from November of 1958 through November of 1961 (included a tie to retain the trophy)
- The 19 game run was the longest between the Army 21 game holding from 1948-1950 and the USC run of 24 games from 1978-1980.
- They followed that with a 13 game run, starting with revenge against LSU in 1962 and going until the aforementioned Sugar Bowl loss to Alabama (2 ties included this time)
- Baylor is 24-13 in Trophy games; 1-1 when the Trophy was up for grabs in a Bowl
- They have won the Trophy 8 times
- The Bears had a streak of 12 wins after taking the Trophy from Kansas State in November of 2012.
Neither school has a B1G team on their schedule so a return to the conference seems unlikley before bowl season 2022
