Ole Miss Football vs. Oklahoma Sooners Kickoff Time, TV Channel and Final Picks

No. 8 Ole Miss (6-1, 3-1 SEC) will take the field in Norman on Saturday for a Top-25 matchup against No. 13 Oklahoma in a pivotal Week 9 showdown.

In a clash that will have significant College Football Playoff implications on the line, Lane Kiffin and Co. will look to avoid back-to-back losses in Saturday's matchup.

But the Oklahoma Sooners present a unique challenge with the program's defense ranking among the top in America.

“Obviously one of the harder places to play in the country and then adding to that what I think, really, in our six years, is the hardest defense we’ve played," Kiffin said this week.

"Most disruptive and hardest defense we’ve played in six years. The numbers back that. They’re No. 1 in the country in a lot of categories. Got a combination of really elite, quick, fast players with one of the best defensive coaches in all of football for a long time. They’ve got it really rolling.”

Now, with kickoff inching closer, all eyes will be on the Top-15 matchup at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
