This week we’ll examine the playoff chances of the SEC’s leading contenders, continuing today with Ole Miss:
Current record: 5-1, 2-1 in SEC
Remaining schedule: 10/17 at Memphis; 10/24 vs. Texas A&M; 10/31 at Auburn; 11/7 vs. Arkansas; 11/21 vs. LSU; 11/28 at Mississippi State
Rankings: No. 13 (AP), No. 4 (ESPN Football Power Index)
Toughest obstacle: The Rebels escaped Tuscaloosa with a win, but turned around and got boat raced in Gainesville. Go figure. While Ole Miss gets Texas A&M, Arkansas and LSU at home, the FPI gives the Rebels just a 9.
