It looks like everyone has forgotten about these two.
The first four games of Ole Miss’s season were terrible. They lost by three points to Kentucky and LSU. Still to play is Georgia, but that one is at home. Going to Arkansas and Florida is not too bad either.
It is still possible to go 10-2 and get into the College Football Playoff as an at-large team, but this can not go off.
The state of Oklahoma has been a mess. It lost to Texas by three points and won by nine against South Carolina. It is more like 2-5 than 5-2. But there is still time to fix this.
Next up for the Sooners is Maine. After that, they have to play close games at Missouri, Alabama, and LSU. If they lose this, they might not even make it to a bowl game.

Ole Miss (5-2), Oklahoma (4-3)
Why Oklahoma Will Win
Jack Arnold is back in the middle to try again.
The offense was having trouble for no reason, and Michael Hawkins Jr. was not able to do much when he took over. Before, it was a hasty move, but now things should get a little better.
The Sooners are still putting up a tough defense. They have good run defense and are fourth in the country in sacks and sixth in tackles for loss.
OU should put a lot of pressure on Jaxson Dart before he gets going. If they don’t, Ole Miss will have a lot of problems. But…
Why Ole Miss Will Win
When it comes to the Oklahoma quarterback problem, it is hard to do much when the other team’s defense is jumping on your head.
They do have the second most stops for loss in the SEC. The best team in the country, Ole Miss, can also get to the quarterback very well.
It is not a wall, but the Rebel offensive front is more like the 1976 Oakland Raiders than the OU front five, which is letting up the second-most sacks in the country and not helping the running game at all.
The Ole Miss offense has not stopped moving, but it has become more stable in the first three weeks of the SEC season. A few early scores should still mess up the OU offense, which can not press with the pass game to stay in the game.
Oklahoma vs Ole Miss: Who Will Win
Ole Miss will feel much better after their two-week break after the exciting game against LSU.
Arnold getting another chance will give Oklahoma a little spark, but this O just does not go.
Ole Miss is 0-2 when they give up 20 points or more and 5-0 when they give up 20 points or less.
Oklahoma only scored 20 points against a Power Four team once, and that was against Auburn, who was having a bad game. The Rebels will get back on track, but it will not be a defeat.
