The good news for Tulane is that it entered the College Football Playoff as Conference USA champion. The bad news? He has to face Ole Miss again. These two teams met in September, and it wasn’t particularly close, with Mississippi coming away with a 45-10 victory. But this time, Ole Miss will prepare and play this game without its head coach, Lane Kiffin, who joined LSU at the end of the regular season. The winner of today’s game in Oxford, Miss., will advance to the CFP quarterfinals and face No. 3 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
Tulane and Ole Miss kick off today at 3:30 p.m. ET (12:30 p.m. PT) on TNT and HBO Max. Keep reading to see the best options for watching or streaming the game.
