Ole Miss Rebels Slide Down CFP Rankings Following Tough Loss to Georgia Bulldogs
OXFORD, Miss. -- A new set of College Football Playoff rankings were revealed on Tuesday night, and the Ole Miss Rebels have fallen out of the Top 10 after losing 52-17 to the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens.
The Rebels are now rated No. 13 in the CFP, and their playoff aspirations have been squandered, but they can still finish the 2023-24 season historically.
The latest College Football Playoff Poll is listed below with SEC teams highlighted in bold.

As mentioned above, Ole Miss is out of the playoff picture, but the 8-2 Rebels can still accomplish something that has never been achieved in program history, an 11-win season.
Ole Miss first has to handle business versus the ULM Warhawks on Saturday, who are currently ranked dead last in the Sun Belt Conference with a 2-8 record.
The last time Ole Miss and ULM met was in 2018, and the Rebels crushed the Warhawks 70-21 in Oxford. Quarterback Jordan Ta'amu led the Rebels in passing, and freshman Matt Corral led Ole Miss on the ground with 78 rushing yards and one touchdown on just six carries.
Kickoff for Ole Miss vs. ULM is set for 11 a.m. CT, and the game will be televised on SEC Network.
