Associated Press moves Ole Miss higher in Top 25 poll

Lane Kiffin doesn’t care much for preseason polls, in-season polls or really any recognition taking his team’s collective attention off the goal of winning football games.

On Monday, the Associated Press Top 25 poll moved the Rebels up from No. 22 in the preseason to No. 20 overall after obliterating Mercer in week one.

No. 21 Duke and No. 22 Colorado moved into the AP Top 25 after huge upsets in the opening weekend of the season. No. 4 Florida State jumped into the top five after a resounding win against LSU in Week 1’s marquee game.
