Someone please fill me in on how the hell Ole Miss is ranked this high?

No I'm not knocking your team at all. Think you've got a pretty good one, but what exactly have you done to deserve this ranking?

Are you a Mississippi State fan? If so, I just want you to know that your program isn't half of what Ole Miss's is. And that is saying a lot.

I don't think they are a top ten team, but right now, who deserves to be ranked ahead of them?

Who else deserves to be in the top 10? No other conference is holding their own. SEC teams are doing what they are supposed to be doing and that's blowing out lesser teams, Ole Miss included.

The Associated Press Top 25 is derived from a poll of sports journalists from throughout the United States. They are asked to rank Division 1 football teams from 1 to 25 based on how good they think those teams are. Teams ranked number 1 are thought of as the "best" team in the country, teams ranked number 2 are thought to be the "second best," and so on.

Once these ballots are cast, the votes are tallied and an aggregate ranking is created. This is the weekly Associated Press Poll, which you are referencing in our original post. Ole Miss, on the aggregate, was voted as the 10th best team in the country. There were plenty of people who voted them higher or lower than 10, but on the aggregate that is where they landed this week.

I hope that explains it! I'm happy to answer any additional questions you may have!

Why do you care? We were pre-season 18 and have beaten our opponents soundly while teams in front of us have lost. It's not that hard.

I feel it is warranted at this point. Can't think of too many teams I would certainly put ahead of them.

Diggs, have you watched us play? Since the 1st half of the Boise game, we have been a well oiled machine with a stiff as hell defense. I think we the coaches poll ranking of 12 is probably about right.

Even with a 10 ranking, there are 4 other teams in the West ahead of us. Sick. SO we are 10th in the country but 5th in our division.

That being said, am surprised State is ranked yet. They deserve to be.

State fans would not know anything about being in the top 10 so why even bother trying to explain it
