The fourth edition of College Football Playoff bracket brought one good news and one bad news for the Ole Miss Rebels.

The Rebels dropping a spot to No. 7 from their previous week's No. 6 rankings was the obvious bad news.

However, despite their slight tumble, Ole Miss still remains in the Top 10 and in the thick of the College Football Playoff.

Oregon's dominant 42-27 win over USC on Saturday was what knocked Ole Miss down a spot despite them on a bye. Other than the Ducks taking over the Rebels, the top 5 remained just the same as previous week.
