No. 5 Ole Miss football enters one of the most dreaded weeks on their slate where they take on the No. 8 Georgia Bulldogs.
Lane Kiffin's squad hits the road to Athens this Saturday for a game that could break the Rebels 6-0 undefeated streak.
What makes the Rebels' trip more concerning is the team's performance in their previous game against wasington State. A Pac-12 team overpowered Kiffin's squad, made their offense struggle and score seamlessly against their defense. The program barely managed to avoid the loss.
If the Ole Miss squad can't come back improved against Georgia, it will be an easy job for Kirby Smart to take them down.
That said, it isn't too tough for Ole Miss to match, or even eclipse the Bulldogs with the talent the have on their roster. They just need to avoid the mistakes they made against Washington State, especially the offense; it's their core strength after all.

Ole Miss vs Georgia Series history
Both Georgia and Ole Miss have had a steady SEC heavyweights for the past couple of years which makes their matchups particularly highly anticipated.
When they last met on Nov. 9, 2024 in Oxford, the Rebels had a thumping 28-14 victory over Smart's roster. This season, Kiffin's roster is even better which will make it a really close one for both.
Ole Miss even won the time they two met for the first time in 1940.
All that said, Georgia leads the head-to-head 33–14–1 series record. Another bad-looking stat for Ole Miss in the history of the rivalry is that their longest winning streak is just two years.
This season gives Kiffin the chance to continue their winning streak following their last season's win, with a chance to potentially top that next season.
Coming in as underdogs, all eyes will be on the Rebels to fight for their undefeated record, and a rightful college football berth following a win.
