Where to watch
- The Tulane-Mississippi game will be broadcast nationally on TNT and stream on HBO Max
The good news for Tulane is it made the College Football Playoff as champion of the American Conference. The bad news? It must face Ole Miss again. These two teams met back in September, and it wasn't particularly close, with Mississippi coasting to a 45-10 win. But this time, Ole Miss will prepare for and play in this game without its head coach, Lane Kiffin, who bolted for LSU at the end of the regular season. The winner of today's game in Oxford, Mississippi, will move 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.
