Here's where Ole Miss football ranks in the polls after Week 5 loss against Kentucky

Ole Miss football had a poor showing on Saturday. Now it's time to see how much it costs the Rebels.

Kentucky upset Ole Miss 20-17 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The loss ended Ole Miss' (4-1, 0-1 SEC) undefeated start to the season and revealed issues that other SEC teams could exploit.

The Rebels had climbed to No. 6 in the US LBM Coaches Poll and were a 16.5-point favorite against Kentucky. Ole Miss checks in at No. 11 in the coaches poll after the loss.

Ole Miss' underwhelming performance was a large drop off from the first four weeks of the season. Ole Miss entered the game outscoring its opponents 220-22. The 17 points against Kentucky are the fewest Ole Miss has scored in a home game in five years.
