The Vibe
Real talk: Ole Miss is coming off a massive high after taking down their biggest rival last week, but they have zero time to chill. The No. 4 Rebels are hitting the road for their second straight game against a ranked opponent. Meanwhile, No. 21 Florida is riding a serious momentum wave after beating Auburn 44-39. Coach Jon Sumrall has this squad playing like they have something to prove, and the fans are lowkey obsessed.
The Key Matchup
All eyes are on the backfield. We’ve got Florida’s Jadan Baugh going head-to-head with Ole Miss star Kewan Lacy. There’s a question mark on Lacy’s status after he got banged up last week, but if he’s healthy? It’s a W for the viewers. This is a top-tier collision of talent that you don’t want to miss.
The Stakes
If Ole Miss pulls off the road upset, they’ll have three wins over AP-ranked teams before September even ends—a feat only achieved by a handful of teams in the CFP era. For Florida, a win against the Rebels would push them to 4-0, officially matching their entire win total from their 4-8 season in 2025. History is on Florida’s side, too: they’ve historically thrived as home underdogs against top-10 teams in the Swamp, including a win against Ole Miss back in 2024.
The Details
Catch the action this Saturday, Sept. 26, at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC. If you're betting on the outcome, the experts are leaning toward a high-scoring thriller, predicting the Over 58.5.
Why it matters
This game is the ultimate test for both programs. For Florida, a win proves the Sumrall era is the real deal. For Ole Miss, it’s about proving they have the stamina to stay in the national title hunt after a grueling start to their season.
