Most Ole Miss fans likely had the expectation of a 2-0 start prior to the beginning of the season, and many thought back-to-back double digit margins were possible.
With the fast start to the season, the Rebels have risen in the Associated Press poll from No. 22 in the preseason to No. 17 in the latest version of the media poll. Ole Miss is on the wrong side of the New Year’s Six bowl picture currently, but the team is closing the gap quickly especially with a one-loss Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M in the SEC West.
