What are Ole Miss' bowl projections after a 4-0 start?
Ole Miss is off to as good a start as can possibly be with a perfect September run through its non-conference slate.
With only a third of the season completed the season is still young and all of No. 14 Ole Miss’ Southeastern Conference games are still ahead of them, starting Saturday against No. 7 Kentucky.
Still the college football bowl projections continue to roll out as the calendar flips to October. The Rebels (4-0) need only two more wins to get into the bowl eligible group. From there it is all about improving the bowl game with more wins.
Ole Miss staying close to home?
If the prognosticators are correct in September then it means the Rebels will not be traveling too far for its bowl game.
ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura — who did not have Ole Miss projected in any bowl a week ago — has the Rebels heading to Memphis for the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 28 playing Kansas.
A similar projection from CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm has Ole Miss in the Liberty Bowl but playing Kansas State.
A third projection has Ole Miss in the Volunteer State but a three hours east in Nashville. Sports Illustrated’s Richard Johnson projects the Rebels in the Music City Bowl, playing Minnesota on New Year’s Eve.
