Better Know an SEC Opponent: the Ole Miss Rebels

The School: The University of Mississippi

Record: 5-5 (2-4 in the SEC).

Ranking: Unranked in the AP Top 25 and Coaches' Poll. The formulas have Mississippi rated 37th in the Real Time RPI and 18th in Jeff Sagarin’s ratings. Go home, Jeff. You’re drunk.

Anyway, both sites agree Ole Miss has had the toughest schedule on the planet. The Rebels have played seven different ranked teams this season, along with live dogs Memphis and Georgia Southern. If Derek Mason had faced this schedule, we’d be blasting Kyle Shurmur’s body out of a spaceship to honor him in the proper Vulcan tradition.
