The Rebels will take on Auburn in the Auburn Super Regional with a trip to Omaha on the line.

Auburn advanced out of its regional on Monday with an 8-3 win over Milwaukee at Plainsman Park. Auburn was defeated by Milwaukee in the first meeting between the two teams, sending the Tigers to the losers' bracket and forcing them to win four consecutive games to advance.

Ole Miss did not face Auburn during the regular season, which is somewhat surprising considering Auburn played one of the toughest schedules in the country.

Auburn finished the regular season at 38–19, as Tigers head coach Butch Thompson has done a phenomenal job with the program in his 11th season at Auburn.

Auburn has the third-best RPI in college baseball despite recording 19 losses during the regular season. RPI is a mathematical formula used by the NCAA to rank college baseball teams based on a team's winning percentage, strength of schedule, and the strength of its opponents' schedules.

The Tigers struggled somewhat on the road during the 2026 regular season, finishing 10–8 away from home, but posted an impressive 21–10 record at home.

Auburn is led by Chris Rembert, who serves as the Tigers' second baseman. Rembert was named a First-Team All-SEC selection and is one of Auburn's best defensive players.

The Tigers’ best pitcher is Jake Maricano, whom they got from Virginia Tech via the transfer portal. Maricano struggled a bit in the regional, throwing one inning against Milwaukee and allowing eight hits and six earned runs in Auburn’s opening game against Milwaukee.

Ole Miss and Auburn's last baseball matchup came during the final weekend of the 2025 regular season, when Ole Miss won two out of three against Auburn in Oxford.

Both Auburn and Ole Miss will be looking to go to Omaha in hopes of winning a national championship in 2026.
