Ole Miss lands cover of Sports Illustrated

Here’s who’s going to the Playoff! Ole Miss will nearly certainly enter the top 10 this week, and now, some of the doubters may be beginning to quiet.

It marked the second straight season that Mississippi upset Alabama, a school that is considered royalty in the powerful Southeastern Conference, and won national championships in 2009, 2011 and 2012. Auburn is hot garbage. Ole Miss will need to avoid the letdown from any hangover they may have after last week’s win. This wasn’t Auburn making the fluke play of the century to win the SEC West by the slimmest of margins.

Oh, you’re just confused by the last one.

The only issue facing the Rebels on defense is depth. Unless something drastically changes with this offense, the Crimson Tide are more likely to be reduced to a spoiler’s role by the time November 7 rolls around against LSU. Don’t blame Cody Kessler, who threw for 272 yards and three scores on 25-of-32 passing. Maybe he will. Their offensive line is excellent. “So that makes it hard always and it always seem you’re missing a couple, everything is a little tensed, but I’m really happy with the way the team rebounded”. Quarterback Kyle Allen is playing great football in terms of output. ESPN’s Total QBR however, which Chad Kelly still leads nationally, tells a somewhat different story, ranking Kyle Allen at 40th.

TCU checked in at No. 2 and Baylor was fourth in the coaches’ poll after the Crimson Tide lost to the Rebels Saturday night. That’s a tough stretch of physical teams. 21, when LSU goes to Oxford, Miss. They were flat coming out, and they didn’t look very prepared, which goes back to the coaching staff. Ole Miss had a very good plan, they stayed away from Alabama’s defensive strengths.

And the Rebels already beat Bama.

“It was an emotional roller coaster”, Freeze said after the victory. What was Alabama’s plan offensively?

When Tunsil gets back on the field and allows some trickle-down in the way of players reshuffling, this team could be even better.

The Buzz: Last week should have been the calm before the storm for the Big 12 Conference especially with three teams on bye and just two games against Power 5 opponents. If they get there, it’s anyone’s game.

“Calvin Ridley played a lot in the game and took his place”, Saban said.

Right now Chad Kelly has to be getting consideration for Heisman contention.

Wake Forest 17, Army 14 – Mike Weaver nailed a 47-yard field goal as time expired to send the Demon Deacons to a win over the Black Knights (0-3). His other touchdown pass was a 24-yarder to Laquon Treadwell. Kelly made it possible for them to do that, and it paid off.

“If that leadership is not consistent and on-going and you want to look in the rear-view mirror, we will wreck”. Alabama had five turnovers, two of them on kickoff returns.
