OXFORD, Miss.— The College Football Playoff makes its first-ever stop in Oxford on Saturday, as No. 6 Ole Miss hosts No. 11 Tulane in a postseason matchup that marks a CFP debut for both programs.
The final CFP Availability report was released 90 minutes before kickoff Saturday afternoon, and Ole Miss looks to be in great shape.
The Rebels will be without junior cornerback Cedrick Beavers, who started each of the Rebels’ final three regular-season games, linebacker Raymond Collins, and offensive lineman John Wayne Oliver.
However, the great news is junior cornerback Antonio Kite is no longer on the list after having been listed as questionable earlier in the week.
Tight Ends are Back: Ole Miss also gets good news because three Rebel tight ends had been listed as probable in yesterday’s report and now they’re no longer on the list: Dae’Quan Wright, Hayden Bradley, Trace Bruckner are all a go for today.
