2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Ole Miss at #74 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of +4.8 points per 100 possessions. That's roughly in line with last season's #73 finish. The model slots this team in the NCAA-tournament conversation.
Only 19% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in. The program adds 3 incoming recruits to the mix.

Ole Miss finished 2025-26 at 15-20, ranked #73 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 112.3 and adjusted defense of 102.5 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Ole Miss
Ole Miss's power rating of +4.8 is an adjusted efficiency margin: the points per 100 possessions the model expects them to outscore an average Division I team by, once you strip out schedule strength. It combines adjusted offensive efficiency, adjusted defensive efficiency, and pace into one number, so a rating of +4.8 means Ole Miss projects to beat a neutral-court average team by about 3 points on a typical night.
