DALLAS, Tx. — Arriving in Dallas Monday morning was Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels for SEC Media Days.

The Rebels are one of the early favorites to make the 12-team College Football Playoffs.

Ole Miss returns 16 starters from last season’s historic 11-win season, the most in program history. Kiffin was also able to sign 24 players through the transfer portal.

On paper, the talent is undeniable for the Rebels, but Kiffin reassured that it’s still a process to get everyone on the same page.

” We have so much work to do within the team on the field and in the locker room because it’s a lot of work to gel them together,” said Kiffin.

The Rebels open the season August 31st at home against Furman.
