With a little over two weeks until kickoff against Troy for the season opener, the Associated Press released their preseason top 25 list. Ole Miss came in as the No. 21 team on the list, cracking the preseason AP poll for the first time since the 2016 season.
The Rebs are one of six SEC teams in the poll behind Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Kentucky. Ole Miss will be playing almost all of these teams in their regular season, except for Georgia.
Ole Miss is coming off of a historic year, winning 10 regular season games including an undefeated home slate in 2021.
