Who would have ever predicted that the Ole Miss Rebels (4-4) would, on paper, be sitting in a better spot than LSU (4-5).

The Rebels lead the country in yards per game (563) and is the 15th-rated offense per Bill Connelly’s SP+ rankings. Ed Orgeron’s defense is ranked 78th (yes, you read that right) and could be without their entire starting secondary, including Freshman All-American Derrick Stingley, Jr.
