Season 7's Playoffs set Lucas, from OSU, against Alex, from Ole Miss. The show sends video crews to college tailgates across the country to sample the food, meet the people and pit them against each other.
The Rebels
Ole Miss is in Oxford, Mississippi. In the AP poll published Oct. 4, the Rebels were No. 9 and 3-1, with Pete Golding in his first season as head coach. They beat Louisville 41-38 on Sept. 6, beat Charlotte 41-9, beat LSU 32-24 on Sept. 19 and lost 52-28 at Florida on Sept. 26.
What is next
Missouri visits Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford on Saturday, Oct. 17, with a 2:30 p.m. Central kickoff on ABC, ESPN or SECN. A week later, on Oct. 24, Ole Miss plays at Texas in Austin.
The tailgate
The Grove is ten acres of tents, chandeliers and Sunday best, and the standard every other tailgate gets measured against. It is at the center of campus, west of the Lyceum.
