247Sports Predicts Ole Miss' 2024 SEC Opponents
OXFORD, Miss. -- The Southeastern Conference revealed on Monday that the league will play eight in-conference games for the 2024 season once Texas and Oklahoma arrive from the Big 12. The SEC also announced that it will rid itself of divisions on July 1, 2024.
The conference plans to unveil its 2024 schedule on June 14 via a special primetime show on SEC Network, but until then, it is time to predict how the slates will turn out.
247Sports released projections for each team's eight-game SEC schedule for 2024 on Friday, and the Ole Miss Rebels were dealt a tough but not outrageous hand. The Rebels are projected to land conference games versus the Vanderbilt Commodores, Mississippi State Bulldogs, Missouri Tigers, Arkansas Razorbacks, Kentucky Wildcats, Tennessee Volunteers, LSU Tigers, and Texas Longhorns.
Projected 2024 SEC opponents: at Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Missouri, at Arkansas, Kentucky, at Tennessee, at LSU, at Texas
Bye-bye, Nick Saban. We're not expecting Alabama to be on the Rebels' schedule every year once the SEC figures out what it wants to do long term, but the Crimson Tide will be replaced with either Texas or Oklahoma in the years they're not designated. Of course, this is all speculation at this point. Ole Miss is not historically ones of the haves, and therefore like another seven or eight programs within the conference, won't have much of a say in who it wants to play every year.
Ole Miss escapes the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2024 and adds Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri from the east. More importantly, however, the Rebels get to keep their rivalry game with LSU, the Magnolia Bowl. Ole Miss also gets to take on Texas in its inaugural season in the SEC.
