ESPN Ranks Ole Miss Football as Top Candidate to Make First College Football Playoff
6/7/2024 | Football
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss has made four New Year's Six bowl appearances over the years, third in the SEC behind only Georgia and Alabama, but the Rebels have thus far come up short of the College Football Playoff—a fact ESPN experts believe could change in 2024.
ESPN ranked its top 10 teams most likely to make their first playoff during the 2024 college football season, and Ole Miss landed at No. 1 on the list.
"The Rebels have the talent and the schedule, as veteran quarterback Jaxson Dart returns (23 passing touchdowns, five interceptions last year), and Ole Miss skips Alabama and gets Georgia and Oklahoma at home," wrote ESPN's Heather Dinich.
