Ole Miss: 2026 Week 12 recap

Ole Miss sits at No. 30 in the latest GIE ratings after a brutal 42–7 loss to Georgia in Week 10 dropped its rating 1.2 points to 13.5. The Rebels are 6–3 but facing a stark reality: the model gives them zero probability of winning the SEC or reaching the playoff. The red-zone efficiency tells much of the story—a 16.5% touchdown rate in scoring position has left points on the field all season. Heading into a road matchup at Oklahoma this Saturday, Ole Miss needs to tighten execution in the areas that matter most. Third-down conversion sits at 37.6%, and late-game leverage performance (4.63) suggests the Rebels haven't been closing out tight contests. The deficit is deep, but these are fixable variables.
