Ole Miss Rebels’ Future in 2024 Season Preview
As SEC Media Days concluded for the Ole Miss Rebels, the spotlight now turns to their upcoming 2024 schedule.
With high expectations surrounding Ole Miss as a strong contender for the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff, the question arises: How will they perform by the end of the season? FanDuel Sportsbook has set the Rebels’ win total at 9.5 for the upcoming campaign, prompting speculation on whether betting on the over or under is the wiser choice.
Recently on College Football Live, analysts Greg McElroy and Ben Watson weighed in on win totals for various SEC teams, including Ole Miss. Both analysts expressed optimism about the Rebels’ potential this season.
McElroy voiced his confidence in Ole Miss by stating, “I’ll take the over here. I actually think Ole Miss is probably a 10-2 football team.” He emphasized the team’s defensive improvements, particularly along the line of scrimmage, as a key factor in their expected success. Additionally, he highlighted the team’s non-conference schedule, predicting a potential 4-0 start.
Although certain conference matchups pose challenges for Ole Miss, such as facing LSU, South Carolina, and Florida on the road while hosting Georgia, McElroy remains optimistic about their ability to secure more than nine wins this season.
In a similar vein, Watson shared McElroy’s positive outlook, underscoring Ole Miss’ advantageous position in the evolving landscape of college football, marked by the introduction of the new CFP format and a division-less SEC.
Watson remarked, “If they manage expectations like we talked about before, I think this team can do what it did last year.” He identified the Georgia game as a significant test for Ole Miss but expressed confidence in their readiness to navigate the challenges ahead and succeed in the SEC.
Amid the preseason hype surrounding Ole Miss, the true test lies in how they perform on the field during the 2024 season. The Rebels will kick off their campaign with a home game against the FCS Furman Paladins on Aug. 31st.
