What is the story about?

Following a 42-7 thrashing at the hands of Georgia, Ole Miss’ College Football Playoff chances are now what could generously be described as NOT GREAT, BOB.

Ole Miss is 6-3 (4-3 SEC) and ranked 19th in the latest playoff rankings, which means a lot of chaos needs to happen in front of them in order to return to postseason play. Oh, and they also need to beat Oklahoma this weekend and put an end to Mississippi State’s season in two weeks.

As you might expect, getting embarrassed by Georgia and staring

down the prospect of missing the playoff has made more than a few people diaper-filling mad. The search for scapegoats is currently self-injecting with premium HGH, which means everyone and their brother has a fresh rumor about chaos, dysfunction, and SEX, DRUGS, AND ROCK N’ ROLL at Ole Miss.

Of course, the more reasonable explanations for a 6-3 season thus far are pretty simple:

Much worse injury luck than 2025
Turnovers

Kewan Lacy, Ole Miss’ second best offensive player (who is now done for the year), played a total of 2.5 out of 12 quarters against Florida, Texas, and Georgia, which were all losses. Lacy seemingly used up his injury luck last year, as he piled up 335 total touches and avoided serious injury over 15 games. Of those 15 games, he had 7 in which he touched the ball 25+ times.

This season, Lacy only played in 6 games and amassed 88 total touches. In those 6 games, he had zero games with 25 or more touches. Kind of a big deal!

Throw in injuries in the secondary that have been ongoing since the start of the season, and Ole Miss hasn’t had its first choice lineup play an entire game this season.

As for turnovers, Trinidad Chambliss is Ole Miss’s best offensive player, but turnovers have been a problem this year. He has 12 total turnovers (9 INTs, 3 fumbles), which are not all entirely his fault, but giving the ball away that many times in 9 games is a disaster. And of those 12 turnovers, 7 came in the losses to Florida (2), Texas (3), and Georgia (2).

Last season in the 13 games he started, he had 4 total turnovers (3 INTs, 1 fumble). You’ll be shocked to know it’s much easier to win when you’re efficient and don’t give your opponents free possessions.

But enough with reason and things of that nature. Let’s get to the comprehensive list of what’s wrong with Ole Miss according to message boards.
