Also mentions that Ole Miss beat Ole Miss this year.

Petty? Definitely. Should a sports "writer" know the difference? Absolutely.

"26. AutoZone Liberty Bowl (Dec. 31, Memphis, Tenn.) - Rice (10-3) vs. Mississippi State (6-6): Rice used an impressive ground attack to knock off Marshall and win its first ever Conference USA title. Mississippi had an up and down year, but triumphed over Ole Miss in the season-ending Egg Bowl to earn its sixth win and bowl eligibility."

26th best matchup is about right.

I'd put it above #22: Syracuse/Minnesota in the Texas bowl, but that's being picky.

Okay, it's pretty obvious they're not taking this thing seriously. Orange Bowl at #2? The team who choked their way out of the national championship (like everyone who paid attention to college football the last decade knew they would) vs. the team whose name has been turned into a verb meaning "coming up short at the worst possible time." No. Thanks. The LSU-Iowa Outback Bowl in the Top 10? C'mon.
But, I do think you could arrange #19 through about #25 in any order and be "right."

I sent that writer an email asking for a correction to the article...changing it to Mississippi State (others may have also) and notice now it has been corrected..
