With just three regular season games left to play on the Ole Miss Football schedule, it’s all to play for. Firstly, it’s Georgia for the Rebels this coming Saturday. Then attention will shift to ULM, with a tv and time now being announced for the week 12 game.
The Rebels are sitting at 8-1 after another big victory over Texas A&M this past weekend. They were already ranked 10 by the official CFP rankings, with the AP Poll moving them to 10 yesterday.
It sets up a mouth watering top 10 battle with number 1 Georgia this coming Saturday, with the Rebels trying to topple the current college champions.
The week after, they will play host to Louisiana-Monroe from the Sun-Belt Conference. The week 12 game has now been given a tv and time for the Nov.18 encounter.
The game will be shown live on the SEC ESPN Network at 11:00 AM CT/12:00PM ET.

The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks sit bottom of the Sun-Belt West with a 2-7 record, losing all 6 of their conference games.
Without looking past Georgia, this will be have been seen as a guaranteed win on the schedule. That leaves Ole Miss needing to get one other win from either Georgia or Mississippi State to tie Lane Kiffin’s best regular season record in charge of the Rebels. Maybe go one better and take all 3 wins, which would be some effort.
Ole Miss and ULM have met 4 times previously, with the Rebels taking all 4 wins. The last time they faced off was in 2018, with the Rebs coming away with a 70-21 victory.
It will be very likely Lane Kiffin’s side will be favoured by a very high number, with ULM already losing by 44 point margin to Texas A&M and 48 loss margin to South Alabama.
First thing is first, Ole Miss must try beat the best team in the country on Saturday, then take care of business against ULM in week 12.
