On Saturday, Ole Miss is set to take on the Georgia Bulldogs in a game that has massive playoff implications for both teams. A win for Georgia would likely cement the Bulldogs in the 2023-24 playoffs, while a victory for Ole Miss would set the college football world on fire.
Depending on how the rest of the Top 10 fairs this week, Ole Miss could take a spot in the New Year's Six or higher if they beat the Bulldogs in Athens. The Rebels are underdogs entering Week 11 but still have a shot at toppling the Dawgs, who do not appear to be as dominant as they have been the last two seasons.
The last time Ole Miss and Georgia squared off was in 2016, and the Rebels won by a decisive score of 45-14, handing Kirby Smart his first loss as the Bulldogs' coach. Ole Miss versus Georgia is set to kick off at 6 p.m. CT on Saturday and the game will be televised on ESPN.
