A series upset over then-No. 1 Vandy has the Rebs back in D1 Baseball's hypothesized tournament field.
Halfway through the season, the Ole Miss Rebels sit at a mediocre 19-18 overall and 7-8 in conference play. But a combination of a nation-leading strength of schedule and two series wins over two former top-ranked teams has the Rebels still in the thick of the NCAA Tournament hunt, according to latest projections from college baseball guru Kendall Rogers.
Last season at this point, the Rebels were No. 10 in the country, had a record of 28-8 (8-5 SEC) and were ranked fifth in RPI after beating Mississippi State in Starkville -- the lowest RPI that the team dipped to was 19th in Week 5.
