The Rebels still have work to do if they hope to reach the CFP, but this week's rankings are a good sign for them. If Ole Miss manages to beat Florida and Mississippi State, it appears the committee has a favorable opinion of the Rebels and could give them a bid at the end of the regular season.

Kickoff on Saturday between Ole Miss and Florida in Gainesville is set for 11 a.m. CT on ABC.
