Episode Details

"This is maybe the most talented team Ole Miss has ever had — and yes, I'm including 2024."

Steven Willis joined a national college football show to talk through the follow-up act after a College Football Playoff semifinal run that ended a drive, a play and a stop short of the national championship game.

IN THIS EPISODE:

🏆 The most talented roster in program history. How many times in your life have you looked at an Ole Miss team and been able to say it has the best running back in college football, the best quarterback in college football and the best kicker in college football? On3's preseason All-America first team has three Rebels — at exactly those three positions.

💰 "Ole Miss is the new rich." Why the fanbase still has a piece of it waiting for the other shoe to drop — and why people looking at Texas, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma and LSU are forgetting that Ole Miss is going to be better too.

🐊 The trap isn't LSU. It's what comes after. Steven's read: Ole Miss has the better team than LSU and that game is in Oxford — the last LSU quarterback to win there was Joe Burrow. But the Swamp on September 26, seven days after the most emotionally charged night in Vaught-Hemingway in years, is the difference between 9-3 and 10-2. Plus the second trap nobody's discussing: Auburn, sandwiched between Texas and Georgia.

🗺️ Four true road games. The fewest you're allowed to have. Two trips to Nashville. Half the road schedule inside one three-week stretch. Everybody's counting the opponents; almost nobody's counting the miles.

⚠️ And the humility. Before Georgia last season, the worst game Ole Miss played all year was Washington State — a game nobody circled in August. Weird stuff happens every year.
