2026 Week 5 Ole Miss Rebels Rankings

Main Poll Voters

User Rank Reason
Doogitywoogity 6 Surprisingly large loss. Either LSU fans are right and that was their superbowl or Florida is really good. Louisville dropping to Wake doesn’t help either. Though I do think Louisville is a high chaos team.

jalexjsmithj 7 I still think they are clearly tier 1 team. Closer to Texas than they are to Mississippi State.
PlactusTX 7 LW: 2 | Tier 2 (down from 1) | L Florida

Even with the loss to Florida, Ole Miss' wins over LSU and Louisville still look impressive.

Tarmacked 8 This is where this gets as bit weird. 4 spot drop for a blowout, yes. Big reason is Indiana just continues to underperform in my eyes relative to where they're ranked. I think Ole Miss has a higher ceiling and their body of work is still relatively solid (LSU/Louisville wins).

jrich960608 10 From #1 to #10. I fear the Rebels defense will be an extreme liability moving forward with the schedule of offenses they have to play. Ole Miss will have to outscore quite a few teams, but the potential is still there and they can put it together.

cyberchaox 12 LSU is still a definite quality win. Louisville...eh. Their big win over SMU lost some luster today when the Mustangs struggled with Missouri State, a team that directly got blasted by Texas A&M by 50 and transitively got blasted by Penn State by 51 (by way of Marshall).

At this time last week, I was writing about how Chambliss and Lacy had helped lead the Rebels to the best resume in the nation, with marquee wins over both Louisville and LSU. I cannot say the same this week, where the Rebels were all but jumped in the Swamp and turned into Gator meat. Louisville also exhibited several key mistakes in their own disappointing weekend loss to Wake, knocking down the Rebels' resume even further. LSU's slaughtering of the Aggies in Death Valley will keep them inside the top 15, but the bye could not have come at a better time for them.

Bank_Gothic 14 Ole Miss is the second highest ranked 1-loss team on my poll with a great win over LSU and a good-but-maybe-not-great win over Louisville. The Swamp is a tough place to play, so I don't fault Ole Miss too much for the loss to Florida, but they just didn't look competitive. Maybe that's just the hangover from beating LSU, but I can't keep Ole Miss in my top-10 with that kind of loss.

TheUltimate721 17 That was a disaster for the Rebs and there's not too many upsides for them. Trinidad Chambliss is brilliant, but you need more than a good QB to win at the highest level, and Pete Golding, for being a defensive head coach, does not seem to have a very good defense! I don't think you can simply point to them not having Kewan Lacy either, there's no RB that is going to make you 24 points better.

HieloLuz 18 A quality win over LSU |3|, but the Louisville |5| win is no longer looking good, and it was a close game. Combine that and the blowout loss to Florida |2|, and its looking rough right now for Ole Miss's resume.

douchebagjack 20 Best 3 Wins: LSU, Louisville, Charlotte
Loss: Florida

Well, that went poorly. Ole Miss came into the Florida game ranked No. 4 and left looking like they had been hit by a truck. Giving up 52 points and getting absolutely demolished in the second half is not ideal. Add to that Louisville lost to Wake Forest. I still think this is a good team, and one bad loss doesn't erase everything they did before it, but going from No. 4 to somewhere around 20 feels completely reasonable after that performance.

_THE__BOULDER_ 10 After a euphoric win over LSU at home, Ole Miss traveled into the Swamp, where only Gators get out alive (this year, so far, at least). Ole Miss did well to battle back into the game in Q3, but a slow start definitely hurt them, and then add the fact that UF was able to pull away in the back half of the 3rd and then in the 4th quarter. Chambliss is still an outstanding college QB, but both offense and defense pulled up short. Going into the game, the concern was the defense, and people were unsure if UF would be able to keep up in a shootout, but the shootout didn't quite materialize. Ole Miss is still a good team, though, and has some big games coming up in October with Mizzou and Texas being on the list. Curious to see how this team finishes down the stretch.

jtchr33 11 Every week so far there has been a team or two I just ask wtf was that. There were multiple this week including them. I think there is a huge overreaction nationally with this team, they are still solid and have a better resume than all but maybe Texas as of now. As said before, win and you will move up as others do their wtf games, maybe that and the hangover from LSU is what caused it, or maybe they just cannot win on the road. No idea at this point, but want to keep them high because of their already great previous results.
