The SEC Champions have looked dominate as of late, matching their defense to their offense to put up one of the most solid squads in the league. New Orleans is where the Dawgs were eliminated last season after an emotional game. Can they get past the mental block when it matters most?
The Rebels, on the other hand, have a surge of momentum after downing Tulane 41-10 in the first round. The loss of Lane Kiffin hasn't rattled them. Instead, they're playing for each other and for new head coach Pete Golding.
