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.

Best case scenario I see for the rebel black bears are to beat Baylor, SE Missouri, and Vandy; meanwhile upsetting 1 of the big 4. I guess Auburn game would be best chance of upset since it was a somewhat tight of a game last year. But who knows. You can make cases for a 1-6 start or a 4-3 start.

God I love the offseason
