Columbus Tupelo West Point Starkville, MS, November 10, 2026 —

Ole Miss experienced a notable decline in the latest College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings. The team, which was previously positioned at number 10, has now dropped to the 19th spot in the new poll.

This significant shift in ranking comes directly after the team’s recent loss to the University of Georgia. The CFP Poll is a weekly ranking system used by the College Football Playoff selection committee to determine the top teams in NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) college football. These rankings are closely watched by teams, fans, and analysts as they indicate potential contenders for the national championship and major bowl games.

A drop from the 10th position to the 19th indicates a substantial reassessment by the committee following the defeat. While the exact criteria for movement within the poll are determined by the selection committee, losses to highly-ranked opponents like Georgia are typically viewed as significant factors affecting a team’s standing. The loss to Georgia means Ole Miss now has a record that has influenced their position in the national landscape as the season progresses.

The ranking also places Ole Miss in a less favorable position for potential playoff berths or high-tier bowl game invitations, depending on future performance and the outcomes of other teams’ games. The College Football Playoff selection committee will continue to release new rankings weekly leading up to Selection Day, when the four playoff teams are announced.
