Ole Miss football vs. MAC

Miami (Ohio) RedHawks: Miami Ohio has been in the MAC since 1962, but has made bowl games in the last three years. This could be an interesting bowl game matchup, but that is probably the only way these teams play each other

Bowling Green Falcons: The Falcons have been on the football field since 1919 and joined the MAC in 1952. Sometimes this team comes out of nowhere from year to year and it could be a fun matchup.

Buffalo Bulls: The Bulls joined the MAC in 1999 so they are still a younger team in the conference, but based on distance it would be surprising to see these teams meet up.

Akron Zips: Akron's program has been around since 1891, but they didn't join the FBS till over 100 years later in 1992. It is doubtful that these teams will meet anytime soon.

Toledo Rockets: Toledo has been in the MAC since 1952 and Toledo doesn't play a ton of Power 5 schools, so there probably isn't much interest between these programs to play.

Eastern Michigan Eagles: Eastern Michigan was independent from 1891 until 1976 when they joined MAC. Based on proximity these teams probably haven't played each other and won't have plans int he future to meet.

Central Michigan Chippewas: Central Michigan has been in the MAC since 1975 when they also joined the FBS. While distance is a probable reason these teams have battled it out on the field in the regular season, with how many bowl games they have been to recently, a post-season matchup is a possibility.

Ball State Cardinals: The Cardinals have also been in the FBS and MAC since 1975, but they would need to most likely boost their resume before they get on Ole Miss's schedule.

Western Michigan Broncos: Western Michigan is the same as Central Michigan. Distance is most likely the biggest reason for not being on each other's schedules.
