00:00 From 24/7 Sports, they're going to put out their way too early win total projections.
00:08 They're setting the over/under for almost winning at 10.
00:11 They said everyone's favorite offseason juggernaut ahead of the 2024 season will be Lane Kiffin's Rebels,
00:17 thanks to an infusion of talent via the transfer portal and a number of key returning superstars,
00:23 including Jackson Dart, who will be a preseason Heisman hopeful, running back Quenshawn Judkins, and top wideout Trey Harris.
00:32 Coming off their first 11-win season under Kiffin, the Rebels will have one of the nation's most favorable paths
00:39 to a spot in the 12-team playoff, given their schedule.
00:43 Looking ahead, there's a chance the Rebels will be favored in 10 of 12 games,
00:48 and they'll play six FBS teams which missed bowl season completely.
00:53 That's really something difficult to say in today's day and age.
00:58 In the new SEC, the Rebels will miss Alabama and Texas and play a combination of Oklahoma and Georgia at home
01:07 with a road trip to LSU being their first game against a likely nationally ranked opponent in mid-October.
01:15 Scheduled favorability is critical in the SEC, and 2024 is setting up for a special season in Oxford as the stars begin to align.
01:26 See, all of that stuff is massively important in what we've been talking about.
01:32 And you look at a situation to where they said Ole Miss should be favored in 10 of 12.
01:39 Honestly, they might be favored over LSU as well.
01:43 I'm thinking they might be favored in 11 of 12.
01:47 We're going to talk about this ad nauseum for the next nine months, but it's very, very interesting to see.
01:56 And then you go on to Michael Bratton, who has been on the show.
01:59 He is a contributor on the Paul Feinbaum Show.
02:02 Here's his power rankings to go in.
02:04 This is his debut 2024 SEC power rankings, where he has Georgia number one, which makes sense.
02:10 Carson Beck is coming back.
02:11 Ole Miss number two.
02:13 Alabama number three, which, man, that quarterback performance last night was shocking.
02:20 Missouri number four.
02:21 I might move Missouri above Alabama, if we're going to be honest.
02:24 Texas five, Tennessee six, Oklahoma seven, LSU eight, Texas A&M nine, Kentucky 10, Florida 11, Auburn 12, South Carolina 13, Arkansas 14, Mississippi State 15, and Vanderbilt 16.
02:40 If you think about Ole Miss's schedule, yes, they do get Georgia, which is the number one on this list.
02:47 But the next one is number seven, and then number eight, number 10, number 11, number 13, number 14, and number 15 are what is on the Ole Miss football schedule going into next season.
03:02 This is another reason why schedule favorability is going to be a major, major thing for Ole Miss moving forward.
03:10 Michael Bratton, like I said, he's been on our show a couple times.
03:13 He does the Paul Feinbaum.
03:14 He's the go-to with the Feinbaum Show, honestly, because he has really cool, interesting things to say.
