Could Ole Miss move into top five with an upset of Florida State?

What’s at stake for Ole Miss in Monday night’s season-opener against Florida State? Plenty — possibly including a jump all the way into the top five of the rankings.

The 11th-ranked Rebels are on course for a surge in The Associated Press poll if they can topple the Seminoles at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, adding another storyline to a marquee-season opener.

How would that happen? Take a look.

Three top-10 teams (No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 5 LSU and No. 10 Notre Dame) already have lost. Obviously, if the Rebels win, No. 4 Florida State would join those three on the losing list.
