No. 6 Ole Miss (11-1, 7-1 SEC) will return to action on Saturday afternoon for a College Football Playoff clash against the Tulane Green Wave at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

In what will be both programs' debut in the 12-team bracket, all eyes will be on Pete Golding and Co. with the new shot-caller in Oxford set to take the sidelines as the head coach for the first time with the Rebels.

“We’re going to be locked in,” Golding said this week. “We’ve got to be focused. Turnovers are going to be critical. We neutralized that last time, but there were three critical fourth-down stops in that game that kind of swung the momentum of the game.

"Their two losses, they’re minus-eight in possessions gained. They do an unbelievable job of taking the football away.”

Now, with kickoff 24 hours away, the expert score predictions are rolling in with the ESPN SP+ computer model locking in the pick.
