ON3 analyst J.D. Pickell released his predicted 12-team CFP rankings ahead of Week 12 release, and it won't sit well with Ole Miss fans.
Pickell predicted the Rebels to fall a spot despite having a shutout 49-0 against Citadel in Week 11.
It was Texas Tech that took the Rebels' No. 6 spot in Pickell's rankings.
While the Red Raiders also boast a 9-1 record, Ole Miss's strength of schedule significantly outweighs that of Texas Tech.
The Rebels faced three ranked opponents this season; out of which they won against two, Oklahoma and LSU, and lost to Georgia with a single score difference.
