Ole Miss and Mississippi State have apparently been moved to the Big Ten

Ole Miss football, Mississippi State football have been traded to the Big Ten.

For the Big Ten to get football back, the White House had to negotiate an unprecedented trade.

The Big Ten no longer claims home to Michigan football or Michigan State football, as they were traded to the SEC for Ole Miss football and Mississippi State football. The White House broke the news to us on Wednesday, as the Michigan Wolverines and the Michigan State Spartans join the SEC West, while the Ole Miss Rebels and the Mississippi Bulldogs have joined the Big Ten East.

Which program stands to gain the most from this blockbuster Power 5 trade?

For the Mississippi schools, we’re going to slot the Rebels and the Bulldogs in where the Wolverines and Spartans rank in the Big Ten East, respectively. “The Game” might be dead, but the Egg Bowl has never been more alive. Though neither team will contend for a Big Ten East title this year, we’re more likely to see Lane Kiffin or Mike Leach to upset Ryan Day than Jim Harbaugh.

For the Michigan schools, the Wolverines are projected to come in fifth in the Big Ten West behind the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers, the LSU Tigers and the Texas A&M Aggies in some order. The Spartans will need to get better quickly to avoid finishing in the SEC West cellar below the Arkansas Razorbacks. How sure are we Mel Tucker is happy to be back in SEC country?

Of the four teams to move in this blockbuster trade, Mississippi State gains the most. They have cowbells and ferocious defensive linemen only the Ohio State Buckeyes can compare with. With K.J. Costello running the Air Raid for The Pirate, don’t be shocked if they finish as high as second this year behind only Ohio State. Can you imagine if Mississippi State actually got to Indianapolis?

As for the loser, it absolutely is Michigan. To go from somehow convincing yourself you’re the second-best team in the Big Ten East every year when you’re not, to emerging as clearly fifth in the SEC West, you’ve essentially become the South Carolina Gamecocks of the opposite division, so congratulations. Bravo! At least Harbaugh’s satellite camps won’t be as shamefully intrusive.

If this is the White House’s plan to achieve competitive balance in the Power 5, we must respect it.
