Ole Miss has a week off and then a home game against the Washington State Cougars before it finds itself back in the national spotlight. The Rebels visit the Georgia Bulldogs and Oklahoma Sooners in consecutive weeks to end October. If they survive both of those games, they will absolutely be considered the top dog in the SEC. For now, the Rebels are above the rest of the playoff contenders from the SEC in the rankings.
