This will be the Rebels' 98th Homecoming game, having won 24 of their last 28 on the field. It will also mark their first non-conference Homecoming matchup since 2018, when they faced ULM.

Cougars in Oxford
This will be the Washington State Cougars' first visit to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Among past and current Pac-12 schools, Ole Miss had only previously faced Cal in a home-and-home across 2017 and 2019.

Lane Kiffin has coached against Washington State before during his time at USC, holding a 1-1 record against the Cougars.

Poll Climb
Ole Miss rose from No. 13 to No. 4 after its Sept. 27 victory over No. 4 LSU, and has held at No. 4 in the latest AP poll this week.

The last time the AP poll saw a jump of at least nine spots by any team nationally was in 2015, when the Rebels climbed from No. 15 to No. 3 after defeating No. 2 Alabama.
