The Ole Miss Rebels have high hopes this football season, and the setup of their schedule has led many to think this team is talented enough to have a clear path to a College Football Playoff berth.

Ole Miss misses out on facing the Alabama Crimson Tide and the SEC-newcomer Texas Longhorns, and although the Rebels are scheduled to travel to LSU, their game against the vaunted Georgia Bulldogs comes at home.

The Rebels have faced all of the teams on their 2024 schedule in previous seasons, but how have they fared against each team historically? Let's take a look at Ole Miss' overall record against each of the opponents on its docket this season.
