5. Ole Miss (11-2)

Lane Kiffin has Ole Miss absolutely humming lately. The Rebels are coming off an impressive win over Penn State in the Peach Bowl to finish the season 11-2 and they bring back most of their key players from the squad, including starting quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Losing Quinshon Judkins to the transfer portal was a tough blow, but what did Kiffin do to address that loss? Well, he went out and landed Logan Diggs from LSU in the portal.

Forgive me if I'm not at all worried about this offense, especially with what Kiffin is bringing in from the portal from guys like Antwane Wells, Diggs, and Daequan Wright. The defense also added a number of key players from the portal like Trey Amos, Yam Banks, Walter Nolen, Princely Umanmielen, Key Lawrence, and Chris Paul Jr. This side of the ball loaded up.

Ole Miss has the No. 17 recruiting class in the country coming in, but it also has the No. 1 transfer portal class, according to 247Sports.

These high-impact veterans coming in via the portal are the reason this 11-win team is going to be contending for SEC and national titles next year,
