Just looked at their schedule; It's pretty brutal early on for them. I know their QB has some speed he torched us last year and put up some points. Curious to see how Kiffin fares against the heavy weights early on. Doesn't mean they won't end up bowl eligible because schedule does lighten up after Week 7

Week 1 vs Baylor ?
Week 2 vs SE Missouri (W)
Week 3 vs Auburn
Week 4 @ LSU
Week 5 vs Bama
Week 6 @ Vandy (W) most likely
Week 7 vs Florida

+ new coaching staff and system/scheme overhaul
+ COVID delays

Will be a lot of growing pains. Team will be better down the road for it.

Who is the HC at SE Missouri? I am not sure if he happens to be a former SEC HC?

I think 3-4 is the most likely scenario.
Vandy will actually be a huge game for them because if they go on a 5 game losing streak, the wheels might come off enough for them to blow their only 3 winnable conference games after that (AM, MSU, Ark).

That would make them Tenn/Ark-tier which is a huge step down. I don’t know how you recover from a season that bad as a head coach.

This pandemic has been really bad for a lot of programs with new coaches, but I think Ole Miss might be in the worst position here.
Ark, Mizz have nowhere to go but up. Leach has some talent to hopefully help him pull off a 6 win season.

With a schedule as rough as Ole Miss’s AND a new coach AND the pandemic stuff, they could very realistically have a disaster of a season. That would be disastrous for the Kiffin@OM campaign. Having a rough start is expected, but having a 3 win season type showing is not easy to recover from.

If we can win four out of our first seven, we should be a pretty good ball club. However, I’d be content with three. Doing that would mean we have to upset someone and beat SEMO and Vandy.

If we can win 3 out of our first seven, we have a good shot at bowl eligibility. We get UConn on Oct. 24 and GA southern on Nov. 21. We’d just need to pick off one of A&M, Arkansas, or State to make a bowl.

Very possible. We almost certainly won’t be favored in 5 of those games

Texas A&M is one of those teams that any SEC team can beat

I wouldn't pen in a win just yet against SEMO.

That Missouri Valley Conference can easily spoil some bottom feeders in the FBS.

I actually think 4-3.

Baylor is losing a lot of talent, plus their HC. I think Ole Miss wins that

Obvious win against SE Missouri

Expected losses to Auburn, LSU and Alabama

Win against Vandy

And I think they pull the upset against Florida. That one is just a gut feeling, I don’t really have any solid reasoning behind it other than it’s a home game for them and I expect Kiffin to get those kids fired up to play.

If Baylor doesn’t return the QB Brewer then the Rebels win this. Does Vandy even have a sophomore QB on the roster?

3-4

Don’t sleep on the Rebs playing Florida at home. Dan Mullen coming back to the sip will be feeling some pressure and Kiffin ain’t playin. Rebs have a winning record overall against Florida in the series history

Like OM to beat Baylor, this spread will be so out of whack and OM should be easy money.

OM over FL is a good upset pick

Auburn, LSU, then Bama will be a rough three weeks man. Ole Miss fans will definitely find out if their guys are fighters or not after that three game stretch.
