Bubble.
That’s the word that’s been floating around Oxford, albeit in whispers, in recent days. Now, it will be shouted. Or, at least, audibly echoed in the taverns and bars of the square.
The Rebels are on a 3-0 run in which all three wins have been quadrant one, and two have come over top-15 teams at home. Now, there’s likely a path that, if things go to chalk, Ole Miss can make the Big Dance (see: March Madness).
Honestly, even if they don’t, what a turnaround it’s been. Most of us pronounced this team dead a week and a half ago, but now, things look completely different.
