Auburn’s trip to Ole Miss now has an official kickoff window and a network slot.
The Tigers will meet the No. 7 Rebels on Saturday, Oct. 31, at Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.
The game is set for 11:45 a.m. CT on SEC Network.
This one brings back a series that went on pause after the 2023 season. Auburn and Ole Miss had met every year from 1990 through 2023 as SEC West foes, and now they’ll see each other again after a two-year break. Ole Miss has taken the last two meetings, but Auburn still owns the edge in the all-time series, 35-12.
Auburn enters Week 8 at 4-2 overall and 2-2 in SEC play. The Tigers’ latest statement came in Athens, where they knocked off then-No.
1 Georgia, 27-24, for their second conference win. Auburn’s other SEC victory came against Vanderbilt, while the two losses came against No.
24 Florida and No. 11 Tennessee.
Ole Miss, meanwhile, climbed three spots in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll after rolling past then-No. 13 Missouri, 31-3, in Week 7.
The Rebels are 5-1 with wins over LSU, Vanderbilt, and Missouri. Their only loss came in Week 4 against Florida, a week after they beat former head coach Lane Kiffin and LSU.
Week 9’s SEC slate also includes Florida vs. Georgia in Atlanta at 2:30 p.m.
CT on ABC, South Carolina at Oklahoma at 3:15 p.m. CT on SEC Network, Mississippi State at Texas at 6:30 p.m.
CT on ABC or ESPN, and Missouri at Arkansas at 6:45 p.m. CT on SEC Network.

LSU Faces A Dangerous Road Test Auburn Is Built To Exploit
LSU heads to Auburn for an SEC matchup that already has the feel of a stress test for both sides. The Tigers are still carrying the energy from Auburns upset over Georgia, and both coaching staffs have acknowledged how hard it can be to keep that emotional edge once the next week arrives. For LSU, the setting matters almost as much as the opponent, because recent SEC road trips have been a problem and this one lands in a place where Auburn should have a crowd fully behind it.
The numbers point to LSU as the steadier team on paper, with advantages in several offensive and defensive categories, but the trip to Jordan-Hare has a way of shrinking those edges. Auburn does not need to be perfect at home to make life uncomfortable, especially when the atmosphere is already primed after a signature win. For LSU, the challenge is turning statistical superiority into a road performance, and for Auburn, it is about using the home-field surge before the emotional letdown has a chance to settle in.

Auburn Still Waiting On Key Signee As Eligibility Fight Drags On
Auburns exhibition matchup with Alabama in Birmingham is already feeling the effects of a legal fight that has pushed back the arrival of international signee Mantas Rubtaviius. The delay in the lawsuit between Rubtaviius and the NCAA means he remains unavailable for the game, leaving Auburn to move forward without one of the newcomers it was counting on this fall.
Rubtaviius situation has become a reminder that roster building does not always move on a clean timetable, especially when eligibility questions are still tied up in court. For Auburn, the bigger concern is simple: a player expected to be part of the mix is still stuck in limbo, and there is no clear resolution yet as the Tigers prepare for the next step of their preseason schedule.

Auburn Is Giving Jordan-Hare An Extra Edge For LSU
Jordan-Hare Stadium is set to sound a little different for Auburns next home test. The university plans to amplify the crowd atmosphere for Saturdays matchup with No. 18 LSU by using microphones for the marching band and field-level speakers, a move aimed at turning an already charged setting into something even more difficult for the visitors to navigate.
It comes on the heels of Auburns upset of No. 1 Georgia, which only sharpened the anticipation around another major home stage. The LSU game is set for 11 a.m. Central on ABC, and with kickoff coming early in the day, Auburn is clearly looking for every possible edge to make Jordan-Hare feel as loud as it can from the start.
