Ole Miss Football Betting Odds For SEC Championship Revealed

As you can see above, the Rebels have the same odds to reach the new 12-team College Football Playoff as the Alabama Crimson Tide. Among these top 16 schools, five of them reside within the Southeastern Conference, including Georgia and Texas who are included in the top three.

The only team Ole Miss will face on this list in 2024 is the aforementioned Georgia Bulldogs, a game that will take place in Oxford on Nov. 9.

It was also recently revealed that, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Rebels have the third-best odds to win the Southeastern Conference in 2024, coming in behind Georgia and Texas. On the heels of its first-ever 11-win season and a New Year's Six bowl victory, Ole Miss appears to have gained momentum not only in the minds of college football fans, but also in the consciousness of Vegas.

The Rebels' last SEC title came in 1963, and they have never appeared in the SEC Championship Game since its inception in 1992. The program also has a claim to three national championships in the years 1959, 1960 and 1962.
