Despite the significant jump, the Rebels are still ranked four spots behind the Kentucky Wildcats. Ole Miss defeated Kentucky by 14 last Tuesday at the Pavilion and then won on the road against LSU on Saturday. Kentucky, however, lost to the Rebels and followed it up with a home win against South Carolina, the only winless team in the SEC.
