North Carolina is off this weekend after losing to Clemson, and the writer’s pick to fill the Saturday gap is Ole Miss, ranked No. 4 in the AP poll, at Florida. The Rebels beat LSU last week, while Florida is 3-0 under new coach Jon Sumrall after beating Auburn.
The writer cites the game’s upset potential and Sumrall’s connection to UNC: Sumrall was among the choices to replace Mack Brown, and the writer says reports suggested former athletic director Bubba Cunningham may also have favored him before being overruled.
