Ole Miss football news: Insider rips Rebels' place in new AP Top 25 Poll

On Saturday, Ole Miss claimed a significant victory over the LSU Tigers within the confines of Oxford. The team capitalized on a substantial lead, ultimately securing the win with a late touchdown by quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and a successful defensive stop. However, some argue that Ole Miss should have been ranked higher in the latest AP Top 25 Poll.

Hayes Fawcett, a college football insider from On3 Sports, expressed his belief that Ole Miss should be in the Top 3, citing their two wins over LSU and Louisville as evidence. Currently, Ole Miss finds itself ranking fourth in the nation, just behind the Texas Longhorns, Georgia Bulldogs, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, all of which remain undefeated this season.

Meanwhile, LSU dropped to number ten in the rankings following their loss to Ole Miss. The comments section echoed Fawcett's sentiment, with fans like one user suggesting that Notre Dame should be outside the top 15 due to their poor performance against weak teams. It is worth noting that at this stage of the year, rankings hold less significance compared to the college football playoff rankings, which will not be released until several more weeks have passed. Ole Miss will face the Florida Gators in a challenging away game on Saturday.
