No. 2 Georgia takes on No. 12 Ole Miss on Nov. 7 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium with both teams rolling into the matchup off lopsided wins.
Georgia and Ole Miss meet Saturday night at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in a game that carries real weight for both programs. The No. 2 Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 SEC) arrive having allowed just 14.9 points per game, while No. 12 Ole Miss (6-2, 4-2) brings a two-year home winning streak and a defense that will be tested.
Both teams come in hot off blowout wins over Auburn, the only team to beat Georgia this season, a 27-24 loss on Oct. 17. Ole Miss thumped Auburn 45-15 on Oct. 31, while Georgia handled Florida 27-8 in Jacksonville after its open date, holding quarterback Gunner Stockton's opponents to just 101 passing yards in that game, his lowest total of the season.
The series has been even lately, with the teams splitting the last six meetings. Georgia won in 2012, 2023 and 2025, while Ole Miss took 2016, 2024 and last year's Sugar Bowl, a win that sent the Rebels to the College Football Playoff semifinals. Nick Saban said on College GameDay that Ole Miss' defense may not be strong enough to contain Georgia, and national pundits are mostly leaning that way too. Ole Miss ranks second in the SEC in passing offense, so the Rebels will need their own attack to keep pace.
