SEC pre-spring power rankings

Mr Chris Low of ESPN has Ole Miss at number 3

3. Ole Miss: The Rebels are right there pushing for that No. 2 spot in the SEC and may well be there when we rank the teams again heading into the season. Jevan Snead is the best pure passer in the league and should only be better during his second tour of the SEC. Most of his offensive weapons are back, and the Rebels added receiver Patrick Patterson on signing day -- the top prospect in the state of Mississippi. Tyrone Nix's defense was nasty last season, but the anchor of that defense, tackle Peria Jerry, is gone. The Rebels are hopeful that pass-rushing specialist Greg Hardy can be healthy for the entire season and that they continue to grow up in the secondary.
