Ole Miss and coach Lane Kiffin are set to face Oklahoma for the third time in program history. The game will be played at Gaylord Family − Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman.
The Rebels and Sooners will play each other for the second time in a row, with at least six consecutive seasons of matchups scheduled. Oklahoma was recently named as one of Ole Miss' annual SEC opponents, starting from 2026-29.
Lane Kiffin expressed disappointment in the pairing, saying the schools have little in common.
The expected quarterback matchup is Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss against OU's John Mateer. Additionally, the Rebels may use quarterback Austin Simmons, who played in select packages against Georgia.
The winner of the game will remain in good shape to contend for an SEC Championship game appearance.
