Ole Miss is coming off a tough 42-7 loss at home vs. Georgia. The Rebels (6-3) have dropped 2 of their last 3 games to fall into sixth place in the SEC standings.
Heading into its Week 11 matchup at Oklahoma, ESPN has placed Ole Miss on the College Football Playoff bubble watch as the first team out from the SEC. According to the Allstate Playoff predictor, Ole Miss now has a 37.3 percent odds at making the CFP.
ESPN mentions that Ole Miss‘ remaining regular season slate will hinder the chance for a resume boost.
With a remaining schedule that includes Oklahoma, Wofford and Mississippi State, it’s unlikely that the Rebels have enough opportunities to sufficiently impress the committee to compensate for such a lopsided loss to Georgia,
Ole Miss is on the bubble as the first team out in the SEC in large part because of its head-to-head victory vs. fellow 3-loss LSU, which was ranked No. 7 at the time. Ole Miss also defeated then-No. 24 Louisville in its regular-season opener.
Ole Miss at Oklahoma is set for a 4:15 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday (SEC Network). The Rebels are 3-0 all time vs. the Sooners and won last season’s meeting 34-36 in Norman.
