Summary
Ole Miss is one of just 15 undefeated teams remaining in college football, yet the Rebels held steady at No. 9 in Top 25 polls.
No matter what the NCAA claims, Ole Miss has won each of its first six games to start a season for just the second time since the 1960s. The Rebels improved to 6-0 (2-0 SEC) with a 52-28 blowout win at Vanderbilt.
Next up is Auburn Saturday at 11 a.m. CT, followed by a trip to rival LSU. Kickoff in Baton Rouge, as announced on Monday, is set for 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS.
“Give Lane Kiffin credit. He had Matt Corral last year. He had a lot of other key players (and) he just hit the reboot button with a whole new team,” SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum said Monday.
“It’s like a fantasy football team that you have to get rid of everybody. That’s a remarkable coaching job.”
The point?
Finebaum praise aside, Ole Miss, for the most part, isn’t getting the national love it deserves, namely in the sleeper College Football Playoff conversation.
“I’m thinking we should have played a lot better,” Kiffin said following the win at Vanderbilt. “I’m certainly not talking about the national championship. We ain’t worried about that. We’ve got a long ways to go to improve to play in a matchup coming back we have’t won yet.
“We’re going to need our fans to repeat their (Kentucky) performance and show up (for Auburn) and give us a home-field advantage.”
To be honest, Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247), prefers the Rebels in most head-to-head matchups with teams ranked ahead of them.
Ben Garrett and David Johnson are here to break it all down, as well as figure out if Ole Miss puts Brian Harsin out of his misery this weekend and what’s been the Rebels’ best win so far in 2022.
