Walker Jones returns to relive Ole Miss's historic playoff run, share some favorite memories from last season, and look ahead to what could be in store for the Rebels as Ole Miss prepares to kick it…
[upbeat music] August 17th, the AP poll came out today.
They got Ole Miss at nine, which is o- on one hand, was like the third time we've been a top 10 preseason ranking since the '70s.
On the other hand, as a fan, I'm a- that's what I am, we ended the year third in the country.
We are bringing back some of our top producing offensive players.
We've absolutely p- stacked up the defense.
How do you...
Is, is that the right ranking? Do you feel like we're in the right spot right now?
I, look, I'm never gonna complain about being a preseason top 10.
I mean, I, I'm old enough to remember two years ago when we were three or four preseason [laughs] when we finished 12th.
Jevan.
That didn't work out.
That was Jevan, wasn't it? [laughs]
Well, no, that was-
No, yeah, that was-
Yeah.
That was two years ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, we were preseason-
No, yeah
...
I think three or four in the AP, and we ended up not making the playoffs.
Yeah.
So again, I think top 10, I'm not gonna complain too much about being ninth.
