On Sunday morning, the Tulane football team got together in the Glazer Family Club in Yulman Stadium to await the announcement of their placement in the College Football Playoffs. The Green Wave was assured of being in that number after their convincing victory over North Texas for the American Conference championship on Friday night.

The Green Wave found out they were placed in the 11th position, and the cheers rolled.

The Green Wave will be traveling to Oxford on December 20th to take on Ole Miss for the second time this year. It was exactly three months from that December 20th date that Tulane got skonked by the Rebels in northern Mississippi, 45-10. After the celebration, Tulane football coach Jon Sumrall looked at what will have to happen to have a different outcome than on September 20th.

When Sumrall was asked what specifically needs to change from game #1 against the Rebels, he pointed to his team needing to be tougher.

We will have more from Sumrall and his players later today.
