If Ole Miss Drops Eight In Nashville They Are Going To Lose This Game | Rebel Bye Week

Everybody looked at this October and saw a death march. Here is the part nobody put on the graphic: the order. Florida — the team that just put 302 rushing yards on this defense — plays at No. 1 Texas on Oct 17, seven days before Ole Miss does. Florida plays No. 2 Georgia on Oct 31 in Atlanta, seven days before Georgia comes to Oxford. Ole Miss gets to watch its own blueprint get attacked by a top-five offense, with a full week to answer it, in both of the games that decide the season. 8 days to Vanderbilt in Nashville. Vandy plays at No. 2 Georgia first, on Oct 3. Steven Willis works the bye week from the schedule out — why the calendar is friendlier than the opponent list looks, why a passive front against a five-star freshman is the one thing that loses the Vanderbilt game, and the provision in the Senate's college sports bill that would be felt before this season ends.
