Rebels Move Up in NCAA Bracket

ESPN's Joe Lunardi projects Ole Miss as a 7-seed following last week's wins over Mississippi State and Tennessee. LINK

Ole Miss is up to No. 32 in the latest NCAA RPI index. LINK

The Rebels play Georgia Wednesday (8 p.m., SEC Network), followed by LSU, Alabama and Vanderbilt - winnable games all. That's not to say the Rebels will win them all, but Ole Miss should be favored in three of those four remaining games (at LSU will be tough). If the Rebels can win three of four and grab a win in the SEC Tournament they could move up to a 6 or even a 5-seed in the Tournament.

But, as per the norm, don't expect any of the remaining four games to be easy. In fact, you should expect nothing less than large doses of anxiety and games decided in the final seconds in each and every contest.
