Daytime Fireworks: Ole Miss football has earned its spot at the table

Ole Miss will almost certainly finish ranked inside the Top 10 when the clock hits 0:00 Monday in Houston. The Rebels thoroughly dominated No. 10 Penn State, 38-25, last weekend in Atlanta in the 2023 Peach Bowl. But now, the attention turns to next season and the incredibly steep expectations.
Saturday’s victory signals the arrival of Ole Miss, in my opinion. Sure it was just an exhibition game in December, but it was much more. The domination of a blue blood, marquee program like the Nittany Lions shows Kiffin’s program is ready for the big time.
