The Rebels are 16th in this week’s USA Today Coaches’ poll, 20th in the Associated Press poll and 18th in the Harris Interactive Poll. Ole Miss rose to No. 4 in the rankings on Sept. 20 for the first time since sitting fourth 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 marked the highest ever by a Houston Nutt coached team. Alabama is ranked third in both polls and receiving five first-place votes from the AP and one from the coaches. This meeting will be the 57th all-time between Ole Miss and Alabama dating back to 1894. The Crimson Tide holds a 45-9-2 advantage in the series, including a 46-8-2 lead on-the-field. Ole Miss received a win by forfeit for Alabama’s 19-14 victory in 1993. Alabama has won 19 of the last 22 on-the-field meetings and five straight since Ole Miss’ 42-28 triumph in Oxford in 2003. The Tide has escaped each of the last three meetings by four points or less including last year’s 24-20 result in Tuscaloosa. The teams have split the last four encounters at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, although the Tide enjoys a 6-2 on-the-field edge in Oxford. The SEC Rocks!
