Ole Miss takes Trophy to Sugar Bowl

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
