Georgia football will play Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 in New Orleans. Here is our early prediction in the CFP quarterfinal game.

The Rebels kicked off the Pete Golding era in style with a first-round romp over Tulane, setting up a rematch against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl

Ole Miss football is 1-0 in the post-Lane Kiffin era after Pete Golding led the Rebels to a win over Tulane in the CFP first round

Ole Miss football quarterback Trinidad Chambliss exited the CFP game against Tulane on Dec. 20. What we know about the injury

Ole Miss fans sent a clear message to Lane Kiffin before the CFP win over Tulane as Pete Golding embraced the moment in a historic night.

The Green Wave are out to avenge a 45-10 loss to the Rebels in Oxford on Sept. 20. Jon Sumrall is looking to extend his stretch as the Tulane head coach before he leaves to take over the Florida program. As for Ole Miss, Pete Golding is looking for his first victory as the Rebels’ head coach following Lane Kiffin’s departure to LSU.

Against Georgia in mid-October, Ole Miss gave up 510 total yards, split fairly evenly between the run and passing games. Going into the CFP, the Rebels had just the 13th-best run defense in the SEC, averaging 150.5 rushing yards allowed. To beat the Bulldogs, each facet of the defense will need to stand strong.

Pete Golding achieved a feat in the CFP that Lane Kiffin has yet to accomplish in Ole Miss' 41-10 blowout win over Tulane on Saturday.

Its good to be talking again about the Ole Miss Rebels and their play on the field as opposed to the circus off it as we look to the Rebels playoff game against the Green Wave of Tulane. This game is a rematch from earlier this season.
