History arrives in Oxford this Saturday. The Vaught-Hemingway is primed, and the Grove is bustling with anticipation to host the Ole Miss Rebels' first-ever College Football Playoff game.
The No. 6 Rebels enter the Playoff with their most successful run (11-1, 7-1 SEC) in 60 years; only now it's Pete Golding calling the shots instead of the head coach who was there back in August.
Their opponents, the No. 11 Tulane Green Wave, come in equally magnanimous stakes as the AAC Champions.
Truth be told, the AAC Championship isn't actually what's cranking up the stakes for Jon Sumrall’s squad; it’s the chance to finally get some revenge.
