The Rebels have moved up two spots as both the AP and the Coaches poll now list them as the No. 7 football team in the country.
The seismic shift this program has undergone in the past three seasons is breathtaking, but to think about how different this team is than even the one that finished last season at No. 11 is astonishing. We’ve covered it ad nauseum, but I’ll just say again: a totally revamped roster is 7-0 and fully controls its destiny. Obviously, there are areas this team needs to improve upon, namely big plays allowed by the defense and a passing game that disappears for large stretches at a time.
