Ole Miss faces the best team in the SEC tonight in 15-1 Vanderbilt. The Rebels currently sit fifth in the conference, and a win against Vanderbilt could propel them to a fourth place finish, leading to a bye in the first round of the SEC tournament. If a series of other games fall a certain way, the Rebels could finish as low as seventh, which would miss the bye the top six teams earn. For only a few days, there’s a lot of important soccer left to be played.
The Rebels are squarely on the bubble for the postseason, and a win against Vandy or a decent team in the SEC tournament could firm up the bid.
