The Rebels jumped one spot to No. 4 in this week’s Associated Press poll, while the USA Today Coaches poll moved the team up one slot to No. 5 in its top-25 rundown. Ole Miss last reached No. 4 in the rankings on October 12, 1970. The last time the Rebels were ranked higher than fourth was September 1964, when the team was the nation's No. 1. The Rebels’ No. 4 ranking marks the highest ever by a Houston Nutt coached team. South Carolina received seven votes in this week’s coaches poll. SERIES INFO: This game will be the 15th meeting between Ole Miss and South Carolina dating back to 1947, and the 6th since the Gamecocks joined the SEC in 1992. The Rebels lead the series 8-6 and had won 5 straight meetings until South Carolina defeated the Rebels 31-24 last season in Oxford. Ole Miss has won four of the five SEC meetings: 30-28 at Oxford in 1998, 36-10 in 1999 at Columbia, 43-40 in Oxford in 2003 and 31-28 in Columbia in 2004, which was the last encounter at Carolina. The Rebels have won four straight in Williams-Brice Stadium and boast a 4-3 all-time mark in Columbia. WHAT TO WATCH FOR: With 8 straight wins, Ole Miss is riding its longest win streak in nearly 37 years and boasts the second-longest current streak in the nation ... The Rebels are shooting for a 3-0 start for the first time since 1989 ... The Rebels are seeking to snap a five-game skid in SEC openers ... Ole Miss is averaging 46.5 points over its last 6 games ... Jevan Snead is riding a school-record streak of eight straight games with mutiple TD passes. The SEC Rocks!
