Dawg83 Posted December 3, 2025 Share Posted December 3, 2025 (edited) Not just hosting but probably hosting somebody from the ACC or G5, if they remain at 6. And you’d likely avoid the SEC & Big 10 champs in the QF if you advance. Looking at who still has a game to play, Bama at 9 feels like the only school that could probably pass OM if they win the SEC championship. Even then OM would still be the 7 seed, but the matchup in the 7 vs 10 game would likely be a good bit tougher than the 6 vs 11 game. I mean it could quite literally be the difference in playing North Texas or playing Notre Dame. So, if you are an OM fan, feels like you probably want to be rooting for Georgia to win in Atlanta. If chalk holds this weekend, Virginia would probably be the 11 seed coming to Oxford. Good team, has had an awesome season relative to their recent history, but their 28th in SP+ which is one spot ahead of 5-7 Auburn. Ole Miss is 7th in SP+. So hypothetically, OM is probably a double digit favorite or close to it if that were the game. Don’t ask me what happens if a currently 7-5 Duke were to win the ACC title. Lol.

hasbeen67 Posted December 3, 2025 Share Posted December 3, 2025 Isn't this where you're better not playing in SEC championship game? If you did and lost, there'd be nowhere to go but down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosting a guaranteed win is even better If nothing had changed from the meeting earlier this season, I'd agree. Tulane's head coach (and I think most of the staff) are gone after the season but staying for the playoffs... how much (if any) bearing will that have on this game? I'm betting not much... but it's worth a question. Ole Miss is without their head coach but most of the coaching staff in place for the playoffs with almost all of the defensive coaches returning including the DC now being the head coach. Ole Miss has the talent (I think???) to just beat Tulane IF they don't give up turnovers and make dumb penalties... but we'll see how they perform with the changes in place.

pancho Posted December 14, 2025 Share Posted December 14, 2025 This will be a good "see where our head really is" game for the Ole Miss team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted December 14, 2025 Share Posted December 14, 2025 Ole Miss should win. But if you are an Ole Miss fan, two things are concerning. 1. Playing a team twice and especially one you already beat easily can be problematic. No matter how much the players are cautioned against it, there can be a feeling of complacency that can set in. Tulane has nothing to lose and that can be a dangerous thing for Ole Miss. 2. Coaching upheaval. Now to Ole Miss’ credit, they handled business against State and did not let those distractions affect their performance on the field. Can they do that again? Will not having Kiffin on the sideline affect their performance. History suggests that it will not. The most dangerous thing for Ole Miss is to let Tulane hang around and keep it a close game in to the fourth quarter. Most likely they will establish a lead early and be fine. But….if they don’t… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted December 14, 2025 Share Posted December 14, 2025 RB coach Smith is headed to baton rouge after the playoffs so Lacey probably follows. How will that dynamic work in the locker room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebmus Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 21 hours ago, pancho said: truly a once in a lifetime experience....... I certainly wouldn’t bet against it being the best Ole Miss football season in my lifetime. I paid pretty dearly to go to the Sugar Bowl to see Ole Miss beat Oklahoma State… my dad picked on me for the amount I dropped and I just told him I may never see Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl again. It will be interesting to see how well Ole Miss does with Golding as head coach and new offensive coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 As a State alum/fan, I don’t think you will see Ole Miss fall off the table like State did with Moorhead in 2018. But most likely equaling the last season is unrealistic. The expectation of wins/losses is very difficult to ascertain. The talent is excellent and with Chambliss at QB the season is bright. A bit of caution is Chambliss having the season again this year that he just had this past season will probably not happen. Teams will scheme him differently and he will not have the advantage of being unknown. Confidence can be a fragile commodity in college football. Winning is contagious to winning as is losing is to losing as well. Golding handled the end of the season and the playoffs very well. How that carries over to 2026 will answer the question of how well Ole Miss performs this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrownInEtown Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Charlie Weis Jr is the biggest missing piece by far. But I think the guy from ECU should cover some of that wound up. ECU had a very good offense this past year. The LBs from Cal and Baylor are 2 very underrated pickups. I think Pete continued the tradition of dominating the portal pretty well but yea sustaining that amount of success with so many new faces just isn’t realistic in one year Edited February 25 by DrownInEtown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrownInEtown Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The NCAA hit back today. Just being honest, don’t like Chambliss’s chances this time. Sucks for Ole Miss, but it’s good that the NCAA can actually establish some barriers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs4 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Different circumstances but there are some parallels to the Gillard case that Coach Tyler went to court with NCAA 50+ years ago. He was declared suspended for one season because he received a discount at a clothing store in Starkville that gave the same discount to all students. Coach Tyler got the injunction because the ruling was so egregious. But two plus years later, incredibly the NCAA somehow won the appeal and State was forced to forfeit 19 wins and two ties from 1975-77. So with the NCAA nothing would surprise me about all this.
