The College Football Playoff Selection Committee released its penultimate Top 25 rankings on Tuesday, Dec. 2 on ESPN. The committee ranked the Rebels No. 6, one spot higher than last week’s rankings.
In this bracket, the Ole Miss Rebels will take on either the Virginia Cavaliers, who would be the ACC champions, or a Group of 5 conference champion. Tulane and North Texas will play for the American Athletic Conference title this weekend. Ole Miss defeated Tulane already at home in dominating fashion earlier this year by a score of 45-10.
