The Associated Press top 25 was released this afternoon, and Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has to be happy to see the Rebels at No. 17 in the country.
Ole Miss (2-0) throttled Austin Peay 54-17 yesterday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium after being ranked No. 20 last week. The Rebels were playing on a shortened week after a Labor Day win over Louisville 43-24.
The SEC is well represented in the top 25, which is shocking to no one. Ole Miss is one of seven conference members in the poll with Alabama and Georgia occupying the top two spots in the nation currently.
