The Ole Miss Rebels climbed four spots in the latest AP Top 25 Poll on Sunday after a 55-49 victory over then-No. 12 LSU Tigers.

Ole Miss (4-1, 1-1 SEC) came into the LSU game as No. 20 in the AP poll after failing to defeat Alabama the week before.

The Rebels had to come back from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Tigers behind the play of quarterback Jaxson Dart. Against LSU, Dart passed for 389 yards and four touchdowns, with a touchdown on the ground. He didnโ€™t throw an interception or get sacked during the game.

Ole Miss joins six other teams from the SEC in this weekโ€™s top 25 poll with Georgia (1), Alabama (11), Ole Miss (16), Kentucky (20), Missouri (21), Tennessee (22) and LSU (23).
