Eh, we'll take it.
For the second year in a row, Ole Miss finds itself in the season's opening College Football Playoff Top 25. After smoking Texas A&M by 20 and outlasting Auburn, the Rebs open at No. 18 in 2015.
This time last year, Ole Miss opened at No. 4 despite coming off its first loss of the season against LSU in Baton Rouge. The going hasn't been as smooth in 2015, with an ugly, four-touchdown beatdown in Gainesville followed two weeks later by a double-digit loss to Memphis. But the Rebs revitalized their image with the suffocating 23-3 win over the ranked Aggies two weeks ago.
