OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss found itself ranked yet again with the release of another preseason poll as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers of America tabbed the Rebels as the No. 13 team in America heading into the 2007 season in its poll released on Wednesday.

It is the fourth poll released to date that has the Rebels ranked in the top 25 as Rivals.com (11), Collegiate Baseball (20) and Baseball America (25) all ranked the Rebels nationally.

Ole Miss is coming of a 44-22 season and claimed the 2006 SEC Tournament Championship before advancing to the NCAA Super Regionals for the second straight season in 2006.
