SUMMARY: Football season is heating up in Mississippi as Ole Miss is ranked No. 21 in the Associated Press preseason top 25 for 2025-26. Despite losing key players to the NFL Draft and returning few starters, Lane Kiffin’s program remains highly regarded.

Austin Simmons takes over quarterback from Jaxson Dart, with returning and transfer wide receivers bolstering the offense. Running backs and offensive linemen blend returning talent with new transfers. Defensively, coach Pete Golding rebuilds after key departures, confident in his mix of returners and newcomers. The Rebels open the season against Georgia State on August 30. Mississippi State and Southern Miss received no top 25 votes.
