Ole Miss football will add Kentucky and South Carolina to its 10-game, conference-only schedule, the Southeastern Conference announced on Friday.
Originally scheduled to face UConn, Southeast Missouri, Baylor and Georgia Southern, the non-conference games will be scrapped and the Rebels will travel to Lexington to face the Wildcatss and host the Gamecocks instead. The SEC West matchups will remain in tact, and the Florida Gators will travel to Oxford as planned. Ole Miss is 27-14 against Kentucky and 8-8 against South Carolina all-time.
The NCAA has granted each FBS program a blanket waiver for two credited FCS wins for bowl eligibility requirements.
