SEC Nation returning to Oxford for Ole Miss’ Saturday showdown with Texas A&M
SEC Network’s weekly, traveling pregame show, SEC Nation, will return to Oxford for the 10th time ever on Saturday — when No. 11 Ole Miss plays host at 11 a.m. CT to SEC West rival Texas A&M on Saturday.
The show will broadcast from The Grove on November 4 from 9-11 a.m. CT on SEC Network. SEC Nation last visited last November for the Alabama game. The Rebels have won seven of their first eight games for the second straight year. They last opened 7-1 in back-to-back seasons back in the 60s.
SEC Nation also dropped in for the Rebels’ 2014 meetings with Tennessee and in-state rival Mississippi State, as well as in 2015 (Arkansas), 2016 and 2018 (Alabama), 2019 (LSU), 2021 (LSU) and 2022 (Kentucky).
“Just playing in this conference in itself is a tough thing to do,” Ole Miss running back Quinshon Judkins said following the Rebels’ 33-7 win over Vanderbilt, his eighth career multi-rushing touchdown game.
“Every week you only have so much time to prepare, and you don’t have time to sit and dwell on what you did the last game. It’s definitely tough. There’s so many great teams in this conference. You just have to prepare the right way.”

SEC Nation is hosted by Laura Rutledge.
Rutledge is in her seventh season in the chair and eighth on the show overall. She’ll be joined, as she always is, by Paul Finebaum, Roman Harper, Jordan Rodgers and Tim Tebow.

Additionally, Marty & McGee will be live Saturday morning from 8-9 a.m. CT. SEC Network pitches the show as the intersection where southern lifestyle and college football meet to bring viewers the latest headlines — Hillbilly and otherwise — across the SEC landscape.
The Grove will also serve as the broadcast home for The Paul Finebaum Show from 2-6 p.m. CT. Ole Miss will host the Aggies on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN.
“Two years ago, we lost to Alabama and seemed to play really well after that,” Lane Kiffin said after Vanderbilt. Kiffin, in his fourth Rebel season, is the second-fastest Ole Miss head coach in program history to 30 wins.
“Seems we’re doing the same thing again this year. I think that says a lot about the players — the resolve to overcome a bad game.”
