Miami and Ole Miss are about to play the biggest game in the very short history between the programs. The Hurricanes and Rebels meet Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026, in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl.
Miami and Ole Miss have only played three times. All three were in Miami. And the last one came in 1951. On the field, Ole Miss holds a 2-1 edge in the all-time series.
Ole Miss reached the semifinals with a 41-10 first-round win over Tulane and a 39-34 win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl quarterfinal.
