How many of LSU’s 2022 opponents are in ESPN’s way too early top 25?

Ole Miss Rebels

Ole Miss will polarize some people heading into 2022. How someone feels about them might just depend on how much they trust Lane Kiffin.

Matt Corral was a large part of Ole Miss’ success the last couple of years. He’s now gone and Kiffin is tasked with replacing him. They didn’t look good when Corral exited the bowl game, but Kiffin will have an entire offseason to put the new guy in place.

Defensive coordinator DJ Durkin left to take the same position at Texas A&M. The Ole Miss defense this year was a bit of surprise considering how bad their 2020 was. There are no guarantees they’ll improve again in 2022.

There are a lot of possibilities for Ole Miss this season. LSU will get them at home in Baton Rouge. It could be an opportunity for Brian Kelly to get one of his first big wins.
