What are the final bowl projections for Ole Miss on Selection Sunday?
Though it seems like Ole Miss opened fall camp yesterday the end of the regular season was put in the books on Saturday with the championship games. Now the postseason is soon to start with bowl games on the horizon.
The College Football Playoff committee will announce the final Top 25 rankings and the final four teams that will compete for a national championship, from there Ole Miss (10-2) is among a handful of teams awaiting to see if a New Year’s Six bowl game is in its future.
After the mild chaos that was No. 8 Alabama beating No. 1 Georgia in the Southeastern Conference title game and No. 4 Florida State not looking solid in its ACC title game win over No. 14 Louisville there was some slight optimism No. 11 Ole Miss could slide into a NY6 bowl bid.
The optimism is waning some on Sunday morning with the final projections rolling in and Ole Miss still sunshine state bound. A trip to Orlando and the Citrus Bowl is the near unanimous projection for the Rebels, taking on No. 16 Iowa.
Late Saturday night Action Network’s Brett McMurphy moved Ole Miss into a NY6 game, putting them in the Cotton Bowl against No. 6 Ohio State. Though hours later that tweet was already outdated as he put them back in the Citrus Bowl as a 13.5-point favorite over the Hawkeyes.
College Football News projected Ole Miss in a NY6 bowl, slotting them in the Peach Bowl against No. 10 Penn State.
The final CFP Top 25 and bowl matchups will be announced on ESPN at 11 a.m. CT on Sunday.
