No. 4 Ole Miss (5-0, 3-0 SEC) remains the talk of the town after opening the 2025 season with an unblemished record across the program's first five games of the season.

Lane Kiffin and Co. remain perfect with a 5-0 record along with a win over Brian Kelly and the then No. 4 ranked LSU Tigers at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

But the Rebels aren't buying into the headlines, hype or praise from the national media with the program keeping a "one game at a time" approach as Saturday against Washington State nears.

“We’re really excited about this matchup," Kiffin said on Wednesday's SEC Teleconference. "Our first early game of the year and really have encouraged our fans to show up the way they did our last home game against LSU.

“(Washington State has) played a lot better in the last game and presents a lot of challenges. So they’re really well-coached. Really sound in what they do.

"Their quarterbacks have started playing a lot better than guys were early in the year. So it’s a big challenge for us and one that we’re excited about.”

Now, with game day inching closer, the early predictions are being logged with Vegas favoring the Rebels along with the ESPN Football Power Index locking in a pick.
