Vegas gives Ole Miss double digit spread against visiting Auburn
Vegas opens Ole Miss as a 13.5-point favorite over Auburn for Saturday's SEC showdown at Vaught Hemingway Stadium. The Rebels (5-2, 3-2 SEC) rebound from a 34-27 loss to Texas, while Auburn (4-3, 2-3 SEC) looks to recover after a 38-17 defeat by LSU following their upset of No. 1 Georgia. The line shifts to -12.5 after early betting. Ole Miss needs a win to stay CFP‑relevant, though historically Auburn leads the series 35-12. Kickoff is 11:45 a.m. on SEC Network.
Slow start dooms Ole Miss at Texas, 34-27
Texas survives a late Ole Miss rally to win 34‑27 in Austin on Oct. 24, 2026. The Longhorns build a 24‑3 halftime lead before the Rebels score 21 straight points to tie in the fourth quarter, but Raleek Brown’s 157‑yard rushing performance seals the victory. Both QBs—Trinidad Chambliss (Texas) and Arch Manning (Ole Miss)—throw five interceptions, and Ole Miss’s offense sputters without a running threat as Kewan Lacy exits with a shoulder injury. The loss drops Ole Miss to 5‑2 (3‑2 SEC) and dents Chambliss’s Heisman hopes ahead of Saturday’s matchup with Auburn.
Ole Miss – Texas OPEN Thread
Ole Miss travels to Austin on Oct. 24 for a top‑25 showdown with Texas that could reshape the College Football Playoff picture. Coach Pete Golding seeks to erase his lone early‑career SEC loss, while the Rebels’ defense aims to build on recent improvements against Vanderbilt and Missouri. Arch Manning returns to his family’s alma mater amid questions about his starting status, and backup quarterback Kewan Lacy, cleared from a shoulder injury, hopes to spark a Heisman‑type performance. On the other side, Texas quarterback Trinidad Chambliss carries lofty expectations, and Steve Sarkisian’s job hangs in the balance if the Longhorns falter at home.
How to watch No. 7 Ole Miss at No. 19 Texas: Kickoff time, TV schedule and streaming options
Ole Miss visits Texas on Saturday, Oct 24 at 6:30 p.m. CT in Austin’s Darrell K Royal‑Texas Memorial Stadium. The Rebels, a three‑point underdog, aim to avenge their 44‑23 win in 2013 as they face Arch Manning’s Longhorns, who are sliding after losses to Oklahoma and Florida. Key factors: home‑field advantage for Texas, the possible absence of pass‑rusher Colin Simmons, and Ole Miss’s recent bounce‑back with wins over Vanderbilt and Missouri. The game airs on ABC and streams via the ESPN app, giving fans multiple ways to watch the high‑stakes SEC clash.
Serving up numbers for the Texas game
The Red Cup Rebellion preview breaks down the Ole Miss Rebels vs. Texas matchup using TeamRankings and Parker Fleming's five‑factor analysis. Ole Miss boasts a top‑10 offense in points per play (0.543) and ranks 20th in yards per play (6.4), while Texas sits near the bottom of those metrics. Defensively, Texas is 2nd in yards per play allowed (4.0) but may be overstated after facing weaker offenses, and will miss edge rusher Colin Simmons. Ole Miss holds a 7th‑overall success‑rate versus Texas’s 11th, and leads in both rush and pass efficiency. The preview suggests Ole Miss holds a slight edge, especially if Texas’s quarterback Arch Manning struggles.
Ole Miss vs Texas: A CFB27 simulation
In a CFB27 simulation, Ole Miss' perfect virtual season meets its first test against a two‑loss Texas squad. Trinidad Chambliss sparks the Rebels with a 69‑yard run and a 19‑yard touchdown pass, while Arch Manning adds a 65‑yard scramble and another score, giving Ole Miss a 24‑14 halftime lead. Texas rallies in the second half, narrowing the gap to 30‑24 before a safety and a 43‑yard run by Hollywood Smothers. The Longhorns pull ahead late, capitalizing on a Chambliss interception to win 43‑31, marking Ole Miss' first virtual loss. Chambliss finishes with 299 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, and two TDs; Manning totals 383 yards and three scores.
The Season: No context
It’s once again time for the fall’s biggest hit blog post — a no-context recap of The Season. This week, we’re letting you decide what’s going on in the Missouri episode.
Pete Golding talks Texas, bad luck and the elite Arch Manning
Pete Golding used the word “elite” and “bad luck” to describe the Texas team his Ole Miss Rebels will face on Saturday during his Monday local press conference. There was a lot of coachspeak as would be expected before a top 25 football game especially with the Rebels traveling to Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium […]
Rebels in the Pros: NFL Week 6
Week six of the NFL saw the return of AJ Brown to the playing field and the former Rebel that potentially triggered the transition from Matt Luke to Lane Kiffin, to the box score. Seems like its nothing but receivers and defensive line that have found their way to consistent time in the pros. Guys […]
4-2-5 Report: Ole Miss manhandles Missouri 31-3
Ole Miss beat Missouri for just the second time ever on Saturday with an absolutely dominant showing. There was some excitement and anticipation about the improvements on the defensive side of the ball after the Vanderbilt game. But Vandy is back in the cellar and not a true measuring stick. Mizzou was one of the […]
Four star tight end commits to Ole Miss after Mizzou win
Rahzario Edwards announced his commitment to Ole Miss after the Rebels 31-3 blowout win over Missouri flipping his pledge from Cal. Edwards is a 6’6” 210 lbs tight end from Sacramento, Cali. and became the 23rd commit for the class of 2027. He had been reportedly committed to Cal since May earlier this year. In […]
Ole Miss moves up in latest AP Top 25 with blowout win
Ole Miss has spent the last two weeks proving it is worth its top ten ranking, and the Associated Press voters rewarded its efforts moving the Rebels up two spots in its latest poll. The Rebels (5-1, 3-1 SEC) are now No. 7 nationally and the second highest ranked team in the SEC after Georgia […]
Ole Miss opens as underdog against Texas
Vegas oddsmakers are giving Texas a slight nod with the Ole Miss Rebels traveling to Austin on Saturday. Odds opened with a three point spread in favor of the Longhorns (4-2, 1-2 SEC) who are coming off a loss to Florida in week seven. The Rebels (5-1, 3-1 SEC) also lost to Florida roughly a […]
Ole Miss steamrolls Missouri to extend home win streak
For the second week in a row, Ole Miss blew out an SEC opponent now resoundingly answering its one loss of the season as it beat Missouri 31-3. Ole Miss (5-1, 3-1 SEC) allowed a first quarter field goal on the Tigers (5-2, 2-2 SEC) first drive of the season and then the Rebels defense […]
Ole Miss – Missouri OPEN thread
Today’s game is very likely a playoff elimination game for one of these teams and that needs to sink in for all the fans out there watching. Coming out of week seven with two losses gives you only one option if you want to make the top 12 come December, and that one option is […]
Ole Miss vs Missouri: A CFB27 Simulation
Heading into this digital match up, Ole Miss is 5-0 and #2 in the country while Missouri is unranked with a 4-2 roster. They also obviously have Ahmad Hardy as the starting running back, but Roberts has been so good, we can accept the performance by Hardy as a reasonable result regardless. Let’s see how […]
How to watch No. 9 Ole Miss vs No. 13 Missouri: Kickoff time, TV schedule and streaming options
It’s homecoming in Oxford and what perfect timing as Ole Miss plays host to former Rebels Austin Simmons, Cayden Lee and Chris Graves Jr. This will also be Kewan Lacy’s first game against his former school. This will be the ninth meeting ever between these two schools and Ole Miss has only one win, all […]
Buffet of numbers for the Missouri game
What better way to run out the clock on Friday than gorging on delicious numbers while we wait for Ole Miss and Missouri to step into the figurative squared circle. Ideally, these numbers will help us see the advantages, disadvantages, and boring pushes for both teams. And, given the relatively small sample sizes, maybe we’ll […]
The Season: No context
We’re back with another no-context recap of The Season from Ole Miss’ jaunt to Nashville, but we leave it to you to interpret what’s going on.
The Midweek Roundabout: The reunion tour
Since roundabouts in Mississippi have become heavily associated with Oxford, I figured we could have a weekly roundabout here. On our first exit we will look around the SEC. If we keep going straight we will look at the upcoming Rebel games across all sports. The third turn will look at some of the Rebel […]
Rebels in the Pros: NFL Week 5
All in all it was a pretty quiet week for our former Rebs. Injuries have run their course as the injured list continues to grow. Dawson Knox had an opportunity for a touchdown in the first half Monday night, but it was deflected and he was unable to adjust and make the catch. Such was […]
4-2-5 Report: Ole Miss wins sixth straight against Vanderbilt
The CBFB27 was spot on in some areas this week. Opening three and outs and an Antonio Kite interception, but the rest was a tad bit off. The Florida and Vanderbilt games have shown a glaring weakness for the coaching staff. The opening script for both games led to three and outs. In the Florida […]
Ole Miss demolishes Vanderbilt, 52-17
If anyone wondered how Pete Golding and No. 9 Ole Miss (4-1, 2-1 SEC) would respond from its loss to Florida, the answer was a resounding beat down of Vanderbilt in Nashville on Saturday, 52-17. This game had everything. A big man touchdown, a defensive touchdown, a Heisman contender showing off his skills, and fans […]
Ole Miss – Vanderbilt OPEN Thread
The Rebels may be a favorite today in Nashville, but I am not sure I know many Ole Miss fans who are comfortable going into this game with Vanderbilt. First and foremost, this game has a lot of heartburn from past seasons. It’s a game that is traditionally closer than expected, and there’s been some […]
How to watch No. 9 Ole Miss at Vanderbilt: Kickoff time, TV schedule and streaming options
Welcome back from the bye week and welcome back to Nashville! I understand Pete Golding wanting the taste of that nasty Gator defeat to stay with his team, but us fans having to dwell on it for two weeks just sucks. The wait it finally over and it is now time to see how this […]
