Summary
ESPN confirmed College GameDay will broadcast from Oxford for LSU's Sept. 19 visit to Ole Miss, spotlighting the Week 3 Magnolia Bowl in the show's 40th season.
Lane Kiffin's first return to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium since leaving Ole Miss for LSU has turned the rivalry into one of the season's biggest draws after a bitter split last fall.
Top-15 stakes add to the hype: Ole Miss is No. 9 in the preseason AP poll, LSU is No. 11, and the Rebels opened as 2.5-point favorites despite LSU's reported $40 million roster.
Demand is already surging, with get-in ticket prices starting around $600 on major resale sites as national attention builds around the matchup.
