A little fun with numbers here with some combined statistical figures from Ole Miss’ 53-52 overtime loss to Arkansas.
First, a note of interest. The Rebels were unranked when AP and coaches polls were released today. They’ll fall out of the college football playoff rankings too. That will end a streak of 27 weeks for Ole Miss football to be ranked in the top 25, the program’s longest streak since 1957-1962.
