We know Ole Miss has it in the bag, but it will become official at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday.
The Sugar Bowl selection guidelines make it very clear that Ole Miss -- the highest ranked SEC team not going to the Playoff -- will face Oklahoma State -- the highest team in the Big 12 standings not going to the Playoff -- in New Orleans on New Year's Day. But that won't become official until the CFP committee releases its final rankings at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday.
The selection show is set to start at 11 a.
