What this is
Ole Miss has climbed into dynasty-caliber territory — into the top 5% of FBS by power rating over the last three seasons, up from the top 16% a year ago. It is a 27-9 record over the last three regular seasons. This is a three-year structural read, not a single result. Power ratings reward the recent past — the question is whether the schedule lets it register as wins outside the model.

💬THE BOARDSNot a board-measurable event — this is a structural power read.›
A multi-year power-rating shift doesn't map to a single board keyword, so we don't fake a fan-volume number here.

We don't carry a live win-total / playoff / Heisman market on the box yet. When it's wired, the pre→post line move sits here.

The non-obvious thing to track
The non-obvious consequence of climbing the power tiers is the expectation tax: the same season that looked like a breakout last year now reads as a disappointment. Watch whether the schedule lets the run actually show up on the field.
