Ole Miss football fell one spot to No. 22 in this week’s AP Poll despite coming away with a 28-10 victory over Troy on Saturday.

The Rebels entered the season at No. 21 in the rankings, but a weak second-half showing against the Trojans saw them drop a spot in the second edition of the poll.

They were jumped by BYU, who leapt from No. 25 to No. 21 with a win over South Florida, and Florida, who entered the rankings at No. 12 following a win over Utah.
