Ole Miss avoided a post-Alabama letdown on Saturday with a tough 27-16 victory over Vanderbilt, keeping the Rebels near the top of this week’s AP Top 25 at No. 3.

The victory sets up a showdown next Saturday in the Swamp against the unbeaten Gators, one of seven teams ranked in Sunday’s new poll.

Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly proved he was human in the win over Vanderbilt, throwing for 321 yards and touchdown with two interceptions.
