OXFORD, Miss. - One year removed from a 10-loss season, Mississippi has a chance to qualify for a bowl game.

Not that first-year coach Hugh Freeze will entertain any postseason talk.

Still, it's not a particularly far-fetched scenario.

The Rebels (4-3, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) are in the midst of their open week and then have five games remaining, starting with a road game against Arkansas on Oct. 27.

Figure out a way to win two, and a bowl game possibly awaits.

Ole Miss got a big psychological lift last week after beating Auburn 41-20 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The victory ended a 16-game SEC losing streak that dated more than two years and was further affirmation that the Rebels are headed in the right direction.
