Ole Miss drops in latest AP Top 25

Ole Miss fell to ninth in the latest Associated Press Top 25 after a blowout loss to Florida, which moved to No. 8. The Rebels were previously ranked No. 4 and enter this stage with a 3-1 overall record and a 1-1 mark in the SEC. The defeat was Ole Miss’s first game of the season and came on the road at Florida. Despite the loss, Ole Miss’ recent win over LSU continues to carry weight with voters. Florida jumped 13 places in the poll from last week, while Texas and Georgia remained first and second, respectively. Ole Miss still has games against No. 25 Missouri, No. 1 Texas, No. 2 Georgia, and No. 16 Mississippi State, with SEC title contenders largely unbeaten heading into week five.
