Kirk Herbstreit Predicts Ole Miss Won’t Make College Football Playoffs

ESPN College Football Analyst Gives His Reasoning

ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit does not believe that the Ole Miss Rebels will make the College Football Playoff this season.

Herbstreit cited Ole Miss' difficult schedule as the main reason for his prediction.

The Rebels will face three teams ranked in the top 10 of the preseason AP Poll: Alabama, LSU, and Texas A&M.

They will also play two other teams that are ranked in the top 25: Kentucky and Arkansas.

Herbstreit said that he believes that the Rebels will have a hard time winning more than 10 games this season.

He said that would likely not be enough to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Herbstreit's prediction is in line with the opinions of many other college football analysts.

The Rebels are currently ranked No. 11 in the AP Poll, but they are not considered to be one of the favorites to win the national championship.

If Ole Miss wants to prove Herbstreit wrong, they will need to play well against their tough schedule.

They will also need to get some help from other teams in the SEC.
