Does Ole Miss play today? Closer look at Rebels' 2024 season schedule
The No. 11-ranked Ole Miss Rebels picked up their biggest win of the 2024 college football season in Week 11. They improved to 8-2 after pulling off a 28-10 victory over the then-No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs.
It marked their third consecutive win in SEC play as they improved to 4-2 in conference matchups this season. Take a look at whether or not Ole Miss plays in Week 12 below.
Do the Ole Miss Rebels play today?
The Ole Miss Rebels do not play today, as they will have their second open week of the season in Week 12. It will give them some extra time to prepare for their final two games, which are both winnable matchups. If the Rebels can win out, they will likely reach the postseason for the first time since the inception of the College Football Playoff in 2014.
They return to the field against the Florida Gators in Week 13. That matchup will be their final road game of the regular season.
Can the Ole Miss Rebels make it to the College Football Playoff in the 2024 season?
The Ole Miss Rebels are sitting in a strong position to reach the College Football Playoff this season. Their odds of reaching the postseason are -350. That mark is the seventh-best in the nation and third-best in the SEC.
The Rebels entered the 2024 college football season ranked sixth in the preseason rendition of the AP Top 25 poll. After four consecutive non-conference wins, they began SEC play with a loss to the Kentucky Wildcats, slipping to 12th in the rankings. They bounced back with a victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks before falling to the then-No. 13 LSU Tigers.
After three consecutive wins to improve to 8-2, Ole Miss seemingly controls its path to the College Football Playoff. The Rebels' remaining schedule includes matchups with the Florida Gators and Mississippi State Bulldogs, who are a combined 6-13 and 2-10 in SEC play.
The postseason field has expanded to accommodate 12 teams, with the five highest-ranked conference champions receiving automatic bids to the postseason and the next seven highest-ranked teams getting at-large bids. The Rebels control their destiny with just two games remaining and appear to be destined for a College Football Playoff berth.
