7. Ole Miss Rebels

2024 SEC Record: 5-3

Ole Miss is one of the biggest wild cards in the entire SEC this season. The Rebels have enough talent on the offensive side of the ball to compete with anyone this year, but the amount of turnover they had this offseason is concerning.

Ole Miss is one of the SEC teams who lost the most talent to the Transfer Portal this offseason, conversely though they were able to bring in a lot of big names as well. Head coach Lane Kiffin will have his work cut out for him to put all of these pieces together, but if he does this Ole Miss team could make a run at the SEC Championship.

But more than likely they will have a season similar to last year where they beat some good team but fail to prove they are a legit contender.
