Ole Miss' Hugh Freeze Sets Fire To His Teams No. 3 Ranking

The Ole Miss Rebels went into Bryant–Denny Stadium last Saturday and left with an impressive 43-37 win over the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The win not only landed Ole Miss into College Football Playoff talks but vaulted the Rebels up to No. 3 in the latest AP Poll.

While the ranking is something players and fans are happy about, coach Hugh Freeze doesn't care about it. Per CBSSports.com:

"I've done two things: When the picks come out for who is going to represent the SEC in the bowl games or playoff, I took a piece of paper in front of our team and burned it. Then when we were ranked No. 3 in the country, I burned it yesterday," Freeze told Finebaum, via CoachingSearch. "It doesn't matter to me. It's great to get recognition, but we have a long way to go and a long season."
