The College Football Playoff first-round matchups are set to open on Friday night with the Oklahoma Sooners hosting Kalen DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide in Norman.

In what will be an unprecedented first-round in this year's 12-team bracket, the field will consist of two Group of Five programs with the James Madison Dukes and Tulane Green Wave cracking the list.

For Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels, the program will make its debut in the College Football Playoff with the Green Wave heading to Oxford for Saturday's matchup.

“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.”
