Expert Computer Model Predicts Outcome of Ole Miss Football's Remaining Schedule

In this story:
Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels will remain idle in Week 6 after opening the 2025 season with an unblemished record through five games.
After a statement victory over the LSU Tigers in Week 5, Ole Miss will utilize an open date this weekend prior to returning to action on Oct. 11 against Washington State in Oxford.
“I’d probably keep playing but I don’t control that, so it is what it is,” Kiffin said of the open date. “We’re pretty healthy for this time of year, especially having already played three SEC games. So, we’re going to open up some competition up at some spots.
“I just finished our staff meeting and said, ‘Guys, I don’t want to be like a lot of teams do when they’re 5-0 and just think everything’s fine. There’s thing we need to improve on. We’re going to play better offenses here to come that are going to challenge us more.
"So, we’ve got to continue to get better at things and push our players more and work on things to get better instead of just feeling okay about where we’re at.”

The 5-0 Rebels have opened the season shot out of a cannon with an unbeaten record that includes three victories over Southeastern Conference programs.
Now, with the backend of the schedule inching closer, what does the ESPN Football Power Index predict the record to be?
The Ole Miss Matchup Predictor Chances:
*Note: The percentages reflect Ole Miss' chances to earn a win.*
Washington St. (October 11) – 98.4 percent chance to win
at Georgia (October 18) – 39.3 percent chance to win
at Oklahoma (October 25) – 53.0 percent chance to win
vs. South Carolina (November 1) – 80.2 percent chance to win
vs. The Citadel (November 8) – 99 percent chance to win
vs. Florida (November 15) – 82.7 percent chance to win
at Mississippi St. (November 28) - 77.4 percent chance to win

Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels are favored in every game remaining on the 2025 schedule with the exception of a road matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs.
No. 4 Ole Miss will navigate the open date this week to rehab nagging injuries prior to a gauntlet of Southeastern Conference games down the stretch of October following Week 7 against Washington State.
