Mississippi Rebels Poised with Major Leak Revealed
Lane Kiffin and Co. have received their three permanent SEC opponents, Georgia Bulldogs not on the docket.
According to On3 Sports, Ole Miss has locked in its three annual SEC opponents for the next four years: LSU, Mississippi State, and Oklahoma.
Lane Kiffin and the Rebels will prepare for a demanding SEC slate as the league shifts to its new scheduling model.
Under the revised nine-game format, each team will face three fixed opponents every season, with those matchups reassessed every four years, alongside six rotating opponents.
“It’s a big relief—for me and for our fans,” Kiffin said Saturday. “We really didn’t need another one of those types of games. In this conference, you’re already going to have plenty of tough ones.
“I’ve said before, this model makes the bottom of the SEC really strong. You’re looking at eight hard games now, and nine starting next year. With the portal, even programs that might be down are going to reload quickly.”
“It used to take a couple of years for teams to climb out of the bottom, but now things move faster. That’s why it was good to have a matchup like this against an opponent that usually doesn’t see a score like that put on them.”
So, what does Ole Miss’s yearly SEC lineup look like starting in 2026?
The Three Annual Opponents for Each Program:
Alabama – Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State
Arkansas – Missouri, Texas, LSU
Auburn – Georgia, Alabama, Vanderbilt
Florida – Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky
