Will Muschamp: I want to coach Will Muschamp wants to coach next season. The Florida coach said Wednesday he would "like to obviously be working next year." Florida parted ways with Muschamp on Sunday, less than 24 hours after the team's sixth loss in its last eight home games.

Those teams rank 63rd, 57th, 98th and 100th, respectively, in total defense. Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier declined comment when asked specifically whether he would hire Muschamp.

Dak Prescott, No. 4 Mississippi St. bounce back, rout Vanderbilt Mississippi State's first touchdown on Saturday night came early in the first quarter on Dak Prescott's nifty 9-yard shovel pass to Malcolm Johnson. It was worth six points. Maybe some style points, too. The fourth-ranked Bulldogs had plenty of both during their easy 51-0 victory over Vanderbilt. Considering Mississippi State (10-1, 6-1 Southeastern Conference) is slotted at No. 4 in the current four-team College Football Playoff, the Bulldogs can use all the points -- style or scoreboard -- they can muster these days.

No. 19 Ole Miss topples No. 4 Mississippi State in Egg Bowl Mississippi's quarterback had a hurt ankle and its two top receivers were out with leg injuries.

The unlikely duo of Jaylen Walton and Jordan Wilkins -- along with coach Hugh Freeze's deep dive into the playbook -- pushed Ole Miss to a convincing 31-17 victory over No. 4 Mississippi State on Saturday in the Egg Bowl.
