Did not play

Last Saturday’s matchup with the Texas A&M Aggies was postponed, and through no fault of their own, we had to drop the Ole Miss Rebels one spot in our SEC Power Rankings. It happened at the worst time too, as former Tennessee football coach Lane Kiffin’s offense was just beginning to take off.

The Rebels have crossed 50 points in each of their past two games. They dropped 59 on a South Carolina Gamecocks team that just held the Missouri Tigers to 10 points, and they scored 54 on a Vanderbilt Commodores defense that held the Florida Gators, who have Heisman candidate Kyle Trask, to just 38 points.

With those two wins plus that win over the Kentucky Wildcats, Ole Miss is one of the three-win teams with a win over a three-win team, and they are on a two-game winning streak. Now, it’s time to see if they can shake off the rust.

Up next for this team is the Egg Bowl against the Mississippi State Bulldogs to begin the Kiffin-Mike Leach rivalry. Then they visit the LSU Tigers and potentially will face Texas A&M on Dec. 19. However, four wins seems likely, and five is possible with LSU on the slate.
