Ole Miss Football Updated RPI Ranking: Rebel Roundup
Your daily briefing on what’s going on with Ole Miss Athletics, including the Rebels’ updated Football Power Index.
Ole Miss football had its hopes of a perfect season come to an end two weeks ago against Kentucky. But its hopes of making the College Football Playoff are from being on life support.
The ninth-ranked Rebels’ easiest path to the playoff is to win out and it’s Football Power Index will help ease the pain of that loss.
Ole Miss is ranked No. 5 in ESPN’s College Football Playoff behind Texas, Ohio State, Alabama and Georgia (in that order). The Rebels are projected to win 9.7 games with the biggest question around the Nov. 9 home game against No. 5 Georgia.
If the Rebels can beat the Bulldogs, that loss to Kentucky will be more than made up for. A loss, though, would require help from other SEC teams to make the playoff.

Ole Miss to learn plenty with CFP rankings: Rebel Roundup
Your daily briefing on what’s going on with Ole Miss Athletics.
Ole Miss football will get a lot of its questions answered tonight.
The College Football Playoff Committee will release its third edition of its rankings at 6 p.m. tonight on ESPN. The Rebels figure to be included in the committee’s rankings, but where they’re ranked – and more importantly where other teams are ranked – will be telling to how clear the Rebels’ path to a playoff berth is.
The SEC has five teams with two losses and how the committee ranks those teams will determine who just needs to win out and who needs help.
For the Rebels, what will be important to know is where does the committee rank Georgia? How far does Tennessee fall after losing to the Bulldogs? Is LSU fall out of the top 25? How far does South Carolina rise after beating Missouri? Is Ole Miss ranked ahead of BYU (who lost to unranked Kansas, but still in contention for the Big 12 championship)? Where does the highest-ranked Group of 5 team rank?
How the committee answers those questions will go a long way in determining in if Ole Miss simply needs to just win its final two games or needs to rack up style points in those wins?
Of course, a loss will put the Rebels in the same boat as LSU. Out of the playoffs.

With a clear path to the playoff, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin talks to reporters
The Rebels’ head coach spoke with reporters about a variety of issues.
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin and his players came into the 2024 season with the loftiest goals and highest expectations an Ole Miss team has had since a Manning played quarterback.
Despite a shocking home loss to Kentucky and overtime loss to LSU, the Rebels are still in position to accomplish most of those goals. An conference championship isn’t likely, but a spot in the new 12-team playoff is and the Rebels’ path is crystal clear.
Beat Florida. Beat Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.
If Ole Miss can win those two games, it should be in the playoff.
With that in mind, Kiffin started the week off with his weekly Monday press conference with reporters and talked about the playoffs and much more.
