13th-ranked LSU currently sits at 4-1 overall and they’ll roll out the welcome mat as they prepare to face off against the 9th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels. It figures to be just one of the best matchups on a slate that is absolutely stacked with great games. The October 12th slate has been circled for quite some time for college football fans across the country. LSU’s lone loss came to Southern Cal at the beginning of the season. They lost that one 27-20, in an absolute classic of a game.

Ole Miss is coming into the game off of their only loss of the season, a 20-17 stunner to the Kentucky Wildcats. The Rebels have otherwise been remarkably impressive for much of the 2024 campaign. Outside of Kentucky, nobody has given them a challenge. So, this will be a fascinating matchup under the lights in Tiger Stadium–one of the most hostile environments in all of college football.
