For the first time in program history, the Ole Miss Rebels are entering the College Football Playoff. The Rebels finished the regular season 11-1 and secured the No. 6 seed, earning the chance to host a playoff game.
Tulane is a familiar enemy for the Rebels. In September, the Green Wave came to Oxford for its week four matchup. The Rebels defeated them 45-10 in quarterback Trinidad Chambliss’ second start.
In that game, Tulane quarterback Jake Retzlaff completed just 5 of 17 passes for 56 yards. Backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan was 5-of-12 for 48 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
