November got off to a great start for Ole Miss, which needs to make it one to remember with College Football Playoff hopes still firmly in its grasp.

A 30-14 win over South Carolina improved the Rebels to 5-1 in the Southeastern Conference with two more conference games to play. Beyond staying in the race for the program’s first CFP bid in history it did not do much in terms of improving its standings in the Top 25 rankings.

The six teams ahead of Ole Miss either won or were idle this week, keeping it at X in the latest Associated Press and up a spot to No. 7 in the Coaches Poll released on Sunday.

Those two polls will now starting providing slight indications of what the College Football Playoffs Top 25 rankings will be. The first CFP poll of the season comes out on Tuesday at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN.

Ole Miss dips out of SEC play for the final time of the regular season next Saturday, hosting The Citadel (4-5) at Noon CT on ESPN+ and SEC Network+. ESPN’s FPI matchup predictor gives the Rebels a 99 percent chance to win and get to 9-1 for the first time in over 60 years. The final two SEC games are against Florida on November 15 and at Mississippi State for the Egg Bowl on Black Friday (11 a.m. CT).
