Ole Miss Rises in SEC After Victory Over Georgia

The No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels are on a bye week after a significant 28-10 victory over No. 3 Georgia, which has revived their hopes for a College Football Playoff berth. Currently sitting at 8-2 overall and 4-2 in the SEC, Ole Miss must win their remaining games against Florida and Mississippi State to secure a playoff spot. Head coach Lane Kiffin noted that the team is peaking at the right time, emphasizing their recent dominance on defense, which ranks sixth nationally in scoring defense. Analysts, including Desmond Howard from College Gameday, have praised Ole Miss as a dangerous team following their win over Georgia, suggesting that their confidence has grown significantly. The Rebels next face Florida on November 23, a matchup that will be crucial for their playoff aspirations. Despite the bye week potentially affecting momentum, the team is focused on maintaining their current positive trajectory.
