The Rebels are looking like a tough team to beat and head into SEC play with an impressive resume. On top of being undefeated, the Rebels have downed the likes of Memphis, NC State and UCF.

Memphis especially is a fantastic win for Chris Beard’s squad, as the Tigers sit at 11-2 on the season with their only other loss coming to Villanova in November. The Tigers have beaten the likes of Clemson, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Virginia.

Ole Miss will be tested immediately once SEC play kicks off, taking on Tennessee in Knoxville. If the Rebels can down the Vols, there’s little doubt they are a true contender in the SEC.
