[2] The Ole Miss football team played their home games at Vaught–Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.

They started out 3-0 with a win over #23 Tulane on the road, but suffered their first loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 24-10.

They rebounded by defeating their arch-rival #13 LSU 55-49 in front of 66,703 (the then-largest crowd to ever watch a football game in the state of Mississippi).

Following their win in the Peach Bowl against Penn State, the Rebels achieved their first 11-win season in program history.

Ole Miss was not scheduled to play SEC East opponents Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee in the 2023 regular season.

The Rebels hosted three non–conference games which were against Georgia Tech from the ACC, Louisiana–Monroe from the Sun Belt and Mercer from the SoCon (FCS) and traveled to rival Tulane from the American.
