Ole Miss Back to No. 10 after Presbyterian Shutout
College football’s Week 11 did not disappoint in giving fans suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat football, with a number of games running down to the wire.
Ole Miss, however, was not one of those games. The Rebels stormed out of the gates at Vaught-Hemingway after two heartbreaking losses in a row, thrashing the Presbyterian Blue Hose 48-0. Off of that performance, Ole Miss jumped two spots to No. 10 this week in the AP poll, with Mississippi State sitting high at No. 1 and Florida State still a step behind.
Thanks to a loss by Notre Dame against Arizona State, the Rebels had room to move back into the Top 10.

Mississippi State was visited by UT Martin and, much like the Rebels, ended up playing backups in a 45-16 victory for the Bulldogs.
