A win over a ranked team on the road should be rewarded and that is what occurred for Ole Miss in the latest Top-25 rankings released after week two.

The Rebels rallied to defeat then-No. 24 Tulane 37-20 to stay perfect on the season and hand the Green Wave their first loss on the young season.

With the victory the voters in the Associated Press and Coaches Polls bumped Ole Miss up their respective rankings slightly. The Rebels (2-0) moved up more in the AP Poll, jumping three spots to No. 17 while the Coaches Poll shifted them up only one spot to No. 19.

Coming off the home loss Tulane (1-1) dropped out of both polls. The biggest mover in the AP Poll was Texas, jumping up seven spots to No. 4 after its win at Alabama. The Crimson Tide fell seven spots to No. 10.

Ole Miss returns home for week three, hosting Georgia Tech (1-1) who is coming off a 48-13 win over University of South Carolina Upstate on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets lost to Louisville, 39-14, in their season opener.
