TV Schedule: Saturday, Oct. 3, 7:00 p.m. ET, ESPN

Stadium: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

Line: Ole Miss (-7.5)

The Florida Gators are back in the top 25 and all is right in Gainesville again, right? Wrong. Although the Gators have gotten off to a fast 4-0 start, they will take on the Ole Miss Rebels next.

Three reasons why Florida could be doomed: (1) Ole Miss beat Alabama … at Alabama. (2) The Rebels have one of the best QBs in the country in Chad Kelly. (3) Ole Miss is averaging 55 points per game (second most in college football).

One major reason why Florida could pull off the upset: The Gators get this game in the Swamp.

On top of trying to stop one of the highest-scoring offenses in the country, Florida also has to find a way to score the ball. A lot.

The Gators won in thrilling fashion last week against the Tennessee Volunteers. In that victory, QB Will Grier took a major step forward, but the young Gator still has a long way to go. After all, Tennessee is no Ole Miss — well, not this season, that is.

Miracles, if you will, happen in college football, but Ole Miss is ranked as high as No. 3 for a reason — it is really good at football.

A victory would be huge for Jim McElwain and the Gators, but their winning streak will come to a screeching halt in Week 5.

Meanwhile, the Rebels will continue to be College Football Playoff contenders.

If nothing else, thanks for the top 25 showdown, schedule makers.

PREDICTION: Rebels 28, Gators 17
