Ole Miss is one of six Southeastern Conference programs to make the cut in the final rankings, and it comes one spot behind the Missouri Tigers who occupy the No. 8 slot.
This season was one of legend for the Rebels, finishing with 11 wins for the first time in program history and earning a win in a New Year's Six bowl, their first time doing so since the aforementioned 2015 season when they won the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
There is also plenty of momentum entering next season for Ole Miss as it returns key playmakers on offense and has added a ton of new talent out of the transfer portal on defense, including top prospect Walter Nolen of the Texas A&M Aggies.
