No. 6 Ole Miss (11-1, 7-1 SEC) will make history at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the Rebels' College Football Playoff debut against the Tulane Green Wave.

In what will be Pete Golding's first game as the head coach of the program, Ole Miss will square off against the Green Wave for the second time this season after the Rebels pulled off a 45-10 win earlier this fall.

"They're coming off a really good game and got some confidence in winning the conference championship and created a lot of turnovers," Golding said of Tulane.

“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."

Now, the oddsmakers have updated the betting lines with the Ole Miss Rebels entering as significant favorites heading into the College Football Playoff clash in Oxford on Saturday afternoon.
