This is a campus-site CFP game in the 12-team playoff. Tulane enters as the American Conference champion and the fourth-highest-ranked conference champion; Ole Miss is an at-large SEC team making its first-ever playoff appearance. The winner advances to face No. 3 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl quarterfinal on January 1, 2026.
The matchup is a rematch: Ole Miss beat Tulane 45–10 in Oxford on September 20, 2025, and the schools are long-time former SEC rivals meeting for roughly the 75th time all-time. Both teams also navigate coaching transitions, with Pete Golding now leading Ole Miss and Jon Sumrall staying with Tulane through the playoff before departing for Florida.
