Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels are preparing for the program's College Football Playoff debut on Saturday afternoon at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium against Jon Sumrall's Tulane Green Wave.

In what will be a historic day in Oxford, Golding will take the sidelines in his first game as the shot-caller while the Ole Miss program eyes a significant win in the Magnolia State.

It'll be a rematch in Oxford on Saturday between Ole Miss and Tulane with the Rebels getting the best of the Green Wave earlier in the year with a 45-10 win.

“But the big thing now, man, that feels like years ago at this point,” Golding said on Sunday. “It was early in the season, and they played really well lately, and they’re coming off a really good game and got some confidence in winning the conference championship and created a lot of turnovers.

“So, we know we’re going to have our work cut out for us. Obviously, having been at ‘Bama for all those years, we’re used to playing somebody twice. Once you go to that SEC championship game, you’re playing them twice.

"You can’t get away from who you are, you know, but you look and evaluate that first game and what were they trying to accomplish? You know, what did they have that they didn’t take advantage of that? We got to prepare, you know, for what they’re going to come back with.”

Now, as all attention turns towards the first-round matchups, the National Championship odds have been adjusted.
