Ole Miss is No. 15 in the 2015 preseason Coaches Poll Top 25

Eh, not too bad.

Spruce Derden-USA TODAY Sports

The never meaningful but always controversial preseason Coaches Poll has hit the streets and your Ole Miss Rebels come in at No. 15. That's not too bad a spot for a team without an offensive line and  in the throes of a three-way quarterback competition.

Eight SEC teams are in the top 25, five of which are in the top 15: Bama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU and the Rebs. So Ole miss may be the 15th best team in the country, in the eyes of the coaches, but they're still just the fourth best in their division. Fun.

A few notes:

So you're alllllll on Ohio State?

Fuck you, TCU.

FUCK YOU AUBURN.

How did you get all the way up here, LSU?

Midway through last season, who had Arkansas coming into 2015 at No. 20?
